[Discussion] Potential line-up (playoffs)


Recommended Posts

Chances of everyone healthy is low. But how does this potential line-up look? Too soft?

 

miller-petey-boeser 

pearson-bo-toffoli

leivo-Gaudette-jake

rousel-sutter/beagle-motte

 

edler-myers

hughes-tanev

fantengerg-stecher

 

marky

demko

 

Could they even ice this lineup later in the season with the cap and still having Erickson on the books with Sven.

I think we really need to figure out where Boeser fits in the lineup, since the team was switching him around to see where he might fit best.

 

Jake could have utility on the first line, as along with Miller we would have two guys who can hound the puck and play with speed and who can finish with Pete.

At this point, unless Toffoli really lights it up with Pearson and Bo (he very well could) I'd like for Boeser to play with the heavier Bo and Pearson.

Then I'm sure that Toffoli, with his versatility and smarts, could thrive with another smart center in Gaudette (and I see Toffoli as an improved Leivo, and those two gelled earlier when they were on the same unit.  Add Roussel to the group and we might have a good depth scoring line).

 

P.S. I really hope they keep the big pair of Eddie and Myers together since 57 really needs help defensively.  Eddie might be the best guy for that.

If Tree comes back that would be icing on the 3rd pair, but yeah I'd go with Fantenberg and Stecher.  Benn would be great depth for either side.

I mean the line up kinda writes its self

 

Miller Pete Brock

Pearsson Bo Toffoli

Automatic

 

Bottom 6 I think our shut down specialists are taking the lions share of the mins remaining here.

 

Roussel Beagle/Sutter Virtanen

 

4th line at this point is kind of a utility line sleep on them and they will put the puck in your net try to over match them and they can keep the puck out of theirs.

Motte Gaud/Beagle/Sutter Leivo

While Sutter is nice in the bottom 6 he just makes way too much to be a 4th line guy. Clearing his cap could go a long way as to recouping a much more needed asset. If Benning can find positive value on Sutter with no cap coming back on next years team I’d hope he makes the deal. Teams won’t trade value for Sutter in the summer as they’ll just try and keep their assets and acquire a guy in free agency instead.

Miller-Pettersson-Virtanen

Pearson-Horvat-Toffoli

Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson

Motte-Beagle-Gaudette

 

MacEwan

 

Edler-Stecher

Hughes-Tanev

Tryamkin-Myers

 

Fantenberg

 

Markstrom

Demko

 

Some advice:

 

1) Re-unite Pearson and Toffoli.  If that doesn’t work, then switch Toffoli and Virtanen.

2) Do NOT use the Horvat line as a shutdown line.  No more Eriksson on that line.   Put Virtanen or Toffoli there and let them focus on scoring.

3) Use Roussel-Sutter-Eriksson as your shut down line.    The Gaudette line with Roussel is useless.   They don’t score much or shut down much.    That 3rd line needs to be about something.
