Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted November 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2019 We're clearly struggling with Sutter and Beagle out. As much as we all want Sutter traded, he's a cornerstone of this team and gives us 4 solid two way centers. Without both our bottom 2 guys Bo is overworked and the top two lines are much easier to matchup. When we traded the 1st for Miller we got a very versatile center. The man can play anywhere in the lineup so let's use him. Boeser and Pettersson are in their groove now so let's slot Miller in at center, he can still play 1st line PP minutes and still rack up 18-20 mins a game. Boeser - Pettersson - Leivo(Goldobin?) Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen Pearson - Miller - Schaller Eriksson - Gaudette - MacEwan 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller has been taking draws on the line too. He has the puck more at C. Players need to work on their weaknesses to improve - if he doesn't take draws he's never going to get better. Btw Pettersson (48.5%) has a better face-off percentage than both MacKinnon (44%) and McDavid (47%). Their teams are not considering moving them to wing. Both have been gradually improving. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrockBoester Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Miller centering Pearson and Schaller? Yeah, that's some deadly offense right there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBatch Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Horvat is going to be gassed if he doesn’t get some relief - what I think they should do is play Miller on two lines (double shift him) as the third line Center to spread the load around a little. Other then that I’m in favour of playing him on the top line - ANYONE who’s still bitter about this trade needs to give their head a shake. He just might me out MVP so far given whatever line he’s on gets a huge boost. Our first line was flat until he was added and he got them going. Same with any other line he’s on. He’s our Swiss Army knife and I think TG knows that and will use him the best way he see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Miller Pettersson Boeser Pearson Horvat Virtanen Keep that top 6 and let them build some chemistry. In 2 years slot Podkolzin in Pearson's spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still need Sutter until AG can get his face-offs up to .500 - after that I think it’s time to move on - maybe this year if not next for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids got skill to burn, once he's a bit stronger and more experienced I think he'll eventually top 50% in face off %. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't look to extend Sutter but we sure need him and miss him in this lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
