Line Combos: 2017-18 Roster Thread II - Massive changes not coming

[Duck Off]

Has it been confirmed Perry is going on the trip?

i'm pretty certain that Hazy said he was during the AZ game.

Oh ok, thanks.

 

[Duck Off]

Oh ok, thanks.

Kyle Shora said Perry is on the ice for the morning skate so he's definitely on the road trip. Doubt he plays though.

Still great to hear! Can't wait to get him back. Thanks again

He was participating in the morning skate

 

[bsu]

These combos should stay together
Getzlaf Rakell
Kesler Silf
Henrique Perry

 

[duxfan1101]

 

[bsu]

In that case it seems its

Rakell Getzlaf Kase
Cogs Kesler Silf
Ritchie Henrique Perry
Grant Vermette Wagner

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

In that case it seems its

Rakell Getzlaf Kase
Cogs Kesler Silf
Ritchie Henrique Perry
Grant Vermette Wagner

Best Ducks forward lineup ever?

Best Ducks forward lineup ever?

On paper, I would say yes. Hopefully that translates to on-ice success.

 

[Arthuros]

Forward lines are great. Now it's a matter of somehow dealing with Bieksa and not letting him have top-4 minutes...I hope Monty shapes up soon.

 

[ScarTroy]

In that case it seems its

Rakell Getzlaf Kase
Cogs Kesler Silf
Ritchie Henrique Perry
Grant Vermette Wagner

I like this, I know vermette has done well on the top line, but I can't see him as a long term option there.

 

[bsu]

If Eaves was healthy

Rakell Getzlaf Eaves
Cogs Kesler Silf
Kase Henrique Perry
Ritchie/Grant Vermette Wagner

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I like this, I know vermette has done well on the top line, but I can't see him as a long term option there.

I don't like kase rakell getz on same line, you could argue they are our 3 best skill guys w/ puck... maybe 2 but 3 seems like over kill... vermette could be effective on the top line I think, hes been a guy that could hit 20 goals throughout his career, I actually don't mind letting him get a decent size trial there.

Vermette Getzlaf Kase
Cogs Kesler Silf
Rakell Henrique Perry
Ritchie Wagner Grant

or if you insist on keeping rakell on getzlafs wing

Vermette Getzlaf Rakell
Cogs Kesler Silf
Kase Henrique Perry
Ritchie Wagner Grant.

Ok, but has Ritchie really done more to make a case for being in the top 9? At least once Vermette was given a chance as a scoring wing he did something with it. I'm not saying I want him re-signed, But I'm kind of liking Vermette as a wing for us. I'd really like to see him be given more of a chance there. At least until Ritchie starts playing like he wants to earn a spot.

I'm on board with you... id rather see vermette in the top 9 over Ritchie, and vermette has proven at an NHL level he can score... and hell get a chance on Getzlafs wing and so fars hes made the most of it.

 

[Paul4587]

Best Ducks forward lineup ever?

I think the 05-06 playoff lineup could maybe give it a run for it's money:

Kunitz - McDonald - Selanne
Penner - Marchant - Lupul
Friesen - Pahlsson - Niedermayer
Fedoruk/Moen - Getzlaf - Perry

Getz and particularly Perry were still pretty raw then but that second line was a force once they were put together, the shutdown line was almost as good as the 07 version and Teemu was an elite winger and that top line had great chemistry.

Ritchie Wagner Grant.

Why would you even think of separating Rakell-Getzlaf

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Why would you even think of separating Rakell-Getzlaf

Because Rakell and getzlaf are our 2 best players and can both be productive on their own lines, obviously together they are great but splitting them up is a matchup nightmare, but I gave a 2nd line up right under that if you are super against breaking them up.

 

[Bender66]

No lineup with Del Taco board hitting, hitler mustache, son of a bitch Jeff Friesen could ever be the "best" Ducks lineup ever.

I think the 05-06 playoff lineup could maybe give it a run for it's money:

Kunitz - McDonald - Selanne
Penner - Marchant - Lupul
Friesen - Pahlsson - Niedermayer
Fedoruk/Moen - Getzlaf - Perry

No Ritchie has not, I'd prefer Roy but I don't think that'll happen. I just don't think Vermette will last there, he's had 2 good games but I'm not sure that'll last. If it does that is great for us and I'm completely happy, I just have my doubts that he won't drag Getz and Rakell down.

 

[DaGeneral]

I don’t see how we break up Rakell and Getz. Raks is almost at a PPG pace and should end up 30/30.

Roy has been garbage and has limited upside. Ritchie is the most current player and. 2nd on the team in hits

 

[Trojans86]

Vermette at least can win some puck battles, pass and shoot. not great at anything other than face offs but doesn't hurt a lime the way Ritchie does.

we now can field 3 great lines. just need a vet d rental at trade deadline to take minutes away from bieksa and beauch. i wonder if any of our young prospects can fill in this year. they can't be worse than bieksa or Beauch

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

If you think Roy is garbage over Ritchie, I'd like to pick through your trash cans.
