Westcoasting Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 On 10/6/2019 at 11:50 PM, nuckfanfromafrica said: New NHL involves rolling lines back to back that have speed and skill. Traditional roster make up of just one top or 2 lines with bottom 6 forward is no longer optimal. I believe in rolling a top 9 or 12 forward line, removing the label of 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th line. Forwards should complement each other and work well together on the ice. Each deficiency in a player complemented by a player(s) on the line Umm this has always been the way, ever listen to Scotty Bowman talk about the Habs in the 70's? Or Pat Quinn when he took over Canucks coaching?... always been a thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hindustan Smyl Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Horvat needs help Earlier this season, I had assumed that Horvat and Pearson would be able to carry the 2nd line with whoever, but it’s possible that I was wrong. I’d try this up front. Pearson-Pettersson-Boeser. Baertschi-Horvat-Miller Virtanen-Gaudette-Sutter Schaller-Beagle-Leivo Pearson is smart enough and good enough defensively to play with Petey and Brock. Perhaps Pearson can get his confidence back by playing with the big two. Miller is great in any role, while Baertschi has had previous chemistry with Bo.

Not a bad lineup but i would swap Virtanen and Pearson. Time to put faith on Virt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t mind trying out Virtanen there, but I’m not sure if he has the smarts or the defensive game to play with Petey and Brock. You never know though. I think Virtanen’s fast and physical game might mesh well with Horvat’s. Miller-Horvat-Virtanen might turn some heads. Pearson-Pettersson-Boeser Miller-Horvat-Virtanen Leivo-Gaudette-Sutter Schaller-Beagle-Eriksson 100% healthy line-up Pearson-Pettersson-Boeser Miller-Horvat-Virtanen Roussel-Sutter-Ferland Schaller-Beagle-Motte Leivo Gaudette and Baertschi go to Utica and help lead the Comets to a championship. Eriksson gets punted off of Grouse Mountain into the Pacific Ocean. Edited November 13, 2019 by Hindustan Smyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Since Ferlando's injury I'd like a heavy hitter like Big Mac or Graovac on the 4th. They would add some forecheck hitting and net front presence. Which we are missing from Motte and Ferlando's absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 If Sutter is out long term, the lineup still looks pretty decent: Miller - Petterson - Boeser Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen Ferland - Gaudette - Leivo Roussel - Beagle - Motte Punt LouiE. Schaller & Pearson add solid depth. So many of these W's can move up/down the lineup..it's quite versatile. For C-depth, we'd have to look to(& hope) MacEwen & Graovac can cut the mustard.

CptCanuck16 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Has Virt ever played with Pettersson and Boeser yet? I wouldn't mind seeing that. If it was a regular thing I bet Virt could break 20 goals this year from all the sick setups he'd get from Pettersson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
