Lines next game

you can't break up Burrows with the Sedins. Sedins need Burrows.

Lines for the playoffs should look like this:

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Raymond - Roy - Kassian (skill/speed, ZK making up space, relatively decent playmaking skills by ZK)

Higgins - Kesler - Hansen

Pinizzotto/Sestito - Lapierre - Weise

Schroeder

Garrison - Hamhuis (I know he was brought in for his shot but Garrison is a very underrated shutdown dmen)

Edler - Bieksa (Despite horrible history, this season has been a turnaround)

Ballard - Tanev

Alberts

Next game?

SMYL - BOWNESS - GILLIS

GILMAN - AV

CLOUTIER

One line team ... baby !!

I think Kass needs a confidence boost and this line may be used in the playoffs, 2nd line looks good. Lappy deserves to be up on the 3rd more often, at least while we use Roy more on the top two.. Ballard is making 4.2 mil, might as well put him in the top 4! Schneids needs to start versus Detroit, Lu got the first two and didn't capitalize so let's go with Schneider this time. Hope to get a win though, the media is in panic mode. lol

Time to get Kassian some chemistry with the twins before the playoffs

Sedin-Sedin-Kassian

Burrows-Kesler-Hansen

Raymond-Roy-Lapierre

Stestito-Pinizotto-Weise

Edler-Garrison

Hamhuis-Ballard

Barker-Alberts

Schneider

Hamhuis could have a similar effect on Ballard to Tanev. Worth trying.

The vacant spot would have to go to Ebbet for the time being. I think we just have better line depth and balance if Kesler and Roy are separated. The Sedins and Burrows are our most offensively consistent line. I would keep them. And I haven't hated Sestito; he at least doesn't hurt the team and hasn't been a liability.

Until Bieksa and Tanev are back, we're pretty much SOL. I would just load up the top-four. Hamhuis and Garrison are a solid top pair. If Ballard is going to play the right-side anyway, might as well use him. He at least has a pedigree of top-four minutes. Just give them to him. Hopefully the top-four can eat minutes and minimize Alberts/Barker usage.
