[discussion] top 2 lines with our current roster


Recommended Posts

As we target a 3C and defence this off-season, it’s likely our top 6 will be comprised of current roster players. 
 

Assuming everyone looks good at camp after a big Summer, how would you draw up our top 6?

To clarify, this is not a prediction of what RT will do, but what you’d like to see for the opening stretch to prove out / build chemistry.

Beau traded for scraps. 

That isn't a lineup I'm excited to watch. Outside of Miller/Petey and hopefully Kuz, that's not much high end talent. 

That looks about right

 

Beau is the easiest forward to dump, low commitment with his single season remaining

Barbashev is signing here once we trade Garland and Beau...

IF Vegas wins the cup, and with his performances I dont see us being in the market.

Mik-Petey-Kuz

Beau-Miller,-Boeser

 

with what we currently have, that's my top 6

I think Beau and Mik could move around.

 

Miller-Boeser would really benefit more from Mikehyev.

 

But a 100% Healthy Mik with Petey and Kuz I do love.

 

I also wonder how Hoglander fits in this year.

 

I mean Hoglander-Miller-Boeser was our best line in the bubble year.

 

Here's all the most common rumours bundled into our roster projection:

If we are going to succeed this year at our ultimate goal of scraping into the playoffs we need Podz to step up to Left wing on one of the top 2 lines.  He provides size, forecheck, dogged puck pursuit, good passing and a heavy shot.  Mik. will be the other left wing.  

Unless anything else changes we know the rest of the top 6, EP and JTM at C and Kuz at right wing with the 2nd line right wing rotating through BB/Beau/CG depending who is still here and playing well.

A 3rd line of Hogs and Garland would need a 6'5 235lb bad MFer between them to make it work.  Man that pair would get buried in their end but draw so many penalties.

Hogs is a great pest and built like a block. Elite skill too. He's a definite keeper. 

Toss Garland. Not a fan. Benning stain.
