Where would you slot Crouse. He’s a LW one year from UFA making 2.25M this year so would likely need term and a raise.You mean like Lawson Crouse LW?

3rd or 4th line LW depending on where Formenton plays. It's expensive, but with all the guys leaving they will have enough money & if they need to dump him in a few yrs to pay other core players than he would be easy to trade.Where would you slot Crouse.

Not really loving that at all.3rd or 4th line LW depending on where Formenton plays. It's expensive, but with all the guys leaving they will have enough money & if they need to dump him in a few yrs to pay other core players than he would be easy to trade.
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Stutzle - Pinto - C. Brown
Formenton - Paul - Gaudette
Crouse - Kastelic - Watson/Sokolov
Stu is a centre and moving to the wing is a self inflicted gunshot wound IMO. Gaudette is fairly useless, he’s basically Galchenyuk. I don’t see the cap space for Paul, Crouse in the same bottom 6 especially when Paul is a bad centre and is in Pinto’s spot.Why not?
hahaha ... good one ... Gaudette is around because he is a right shot & they need a couple more, but my guess is that Boucher eventually ends up with Stutzle & Pinto. That will push C. Brown down to the 3rd line, but in the meantime he is still one of the best 6 players on this team as is Pinto who IMO is more than a 3rd line player & will prove it again when he gets back.Stu is a centre and moving to the wing is a self inflicted gunshot wound IMO.

You can't think of it like a traditional 3rd line though so Pinto and whoever will have more ice time than typical 3rd lines.hahaha ... good one ...

Plus, it seems obvious you don't want Stu at C (although I can't understand why)
You always go back to that, look at Crosby's height & McDavid's height it has nothing to do with it. I'm of the opinion he could be as dynamic on LW as he is at centre, I don't think him playing centre made him better I think being in the NHL & getting NHL coaching has made him better along with a huge jump in confidence. If he stays at centre fine, but IMO it's not what could be best for the team. The problem IMO is if you move Pinto to the 3rd line it diminishes the kind of player he could be by playing him with inferior players. If you place better players with Pinto it takes away from Stutzle. If you play them together you end up which a much better line.Look at his height. He was huge on Byfield over Stutzle and felt like it never changed since then.
Stutzle at C is exactly what we been hoping for, and what every contender needs.
was wondering how I was going to watch this. I have a a home games sub. Thanks for putting this up.
RDS too broadcast the gamewas wondering how I was going to watch this. I have a a home games sub. Thanks for putting this up.
Seriously?Now Sokolov out with a shoulder injury, joining Sanderson, White, Norris and Pinto out for an injury at the same spot. Where can we buy some spare shoulders?
