Shift-4 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I see it rotating. If there is any funny business towards the twins Kass will be with them. If the twins need a spark Burrows will be there. However, I still really like the idea of Burrows being the guy to finally get the Kesler-Booth combo going.

Erik Karlsson Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 As long as Kassian stays on the top 2 lines doesn't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindenTheLegend Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Burrows and the seidns have porven success, also by having kassian with Booth and kesler, you have three players that can hit and score, they would intimidate opposing team's lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaches Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 3. What if Dale Weise starts playing like he did in Holland and demands a first line spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disisdayear Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I say you interchange Burrows and Kassian with the Sedins as we did with Burrows and Samuelsson in 2009-2010/2010-2011. Burrows provides the speed and tenacious forechecking that helps with the Sedins' cycle game down low, and Kassian provides the good shot, size and presence in front of the net that allows Sedins the extra space to operate from the hash marks in. With Kassian, you need the defencemen to be more active but we've got the right guys on the backend for that. By moving Burr and Kass between Hank and Kes' lines, you add something to each line when they go stale. The third line made up of Raymond LW -- Schroeder C -- Hansen RW could be one of the fastest lines in the NHL. As far as the fourth line goes, we need it to be nasty, but with some skill. I see Volpatti LW -- Lapierre C -- Weise RW This makes Higgins and Malhotra our 13th/14th guys upfront. That's not a bad problem to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_Duck Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Have none of you been paying any attention to how to coach this team??? Obviously, before each game, you flip a coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I say kassian.. The twins linemate is not the problem they're not even clicking with each other. They are the problem themselves right meow. Once kesler gets back we are golden. I'm drooling over reuniting him and burrows. Burrows could be a big help getting him back to the player he was in the selke year. Those 2 can log big minutes against top lines in the playoffs and have the ability to shut down the best of the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginu Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Well, the more I think about it the more I think it will be just line juggling like in the past which annoys me, but hey, its AV> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugemanskost Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think Kass needs to go where the play dictates he be. Why do we always have to lock into specific lines all the time? Burr can play with the Twins anytime. They don't need to find "chemistry". They've had it for years. If the Sedins are getting bounced around by a big team like Boston or LA, move Kass onto their line. I like what AV does with the team as far as lines and defence pairings go. He tries different things when he thinks a change might help. It makes a team stronger, in times where injuries or slumps are occurring, if everyone can play with everyone... Just like right now!

Dustin77 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Stay with Kassian on the top line unless the chemistry dries up completley. Looked pretty good so far. And putting Burrows back with Kesler again could jumpstart Burrows and instantly ignite Kesler to a great start as well.
