Tito showed early on he has a very good shot and works hard. He went down to AHL got some confidence back. Playing with a world class center like Barzal instead of Nelson also helps. You can see those 2 have chemistry together playing together a lot for team Canada.

Ebeauzal needs to stay together and bump Ladd down. Now if we can just get MDC away from Nelson we might see a player worth the 5OA pick.

Ladd was very good on that line, his skillset fits well with Barzal and Eberle. Beauvillier brings a different dimension, more speed and his past/current chemistry with Barzal is pretty huge.

Completely agree, let's not take away from how good Ladd was playing with Barzal and Eberle. He added that veteran toughness dimension that Beau does not have [yet].
I think moving Ladd down to play with Nelson and whoever will do well for the lineup. I still want to get rid of Nelson. He's really dragging everyone down.

I think this team would benefit greatly from a legit 3c. I wouldn’t like to see Beauvillier off that second line, but will Ladd be as useful with Nelson as his center? It’s amazing, we went from complaining about not having a legit 2c to not having a legit 3c. That third line is just an all around disaster.

You're right, a legit #3C is the biggest need now. Just goes to show what JT has had to do all of these years as 'the man', he had so little support down the middle.
We have enough wingers and there is a lot of versatility in the lineup from years of mixing and matching lines. Another solid bottom-6 center and health, we're rock solid. The Chiarelli line is fine, get Ladd a running mate so we can roll 4 legit lines.
With Cizikas out, we're a 1 1/2-line team right now. We're winning because Barzal and JT are beasting. Bailey is clearly missed, more by Lee than JT though.

This is how I picture Nelson before every game
You see the way Towelie is sucking down that computer duster? That's way more effort than Brock would put into it.

Not sure if you're a speaking in terms of just forwards or not, but I still think they need to add a 3D. Yes, one of Mayfield/Pulock is going to sit on a nightly basis, and while they both probably deserve to be in the lineup (even if it's just in a bottom pairing role), this team needs to strengthen their D core because right now after Boychuk and Leddy there are no veteran guys who are capable of logging big minutes (sorry Hickey).
Ladd was ok with barzal but he clearly can't keep up with the barzal and eberle in the same way Beau can. Curious to see how weight handles this when Ladd is healthy.
If Beauvillier continue his great play, Weight would have to be completely out of his mind to take him out of this line. Ladd would fit better anyway in the 3rd line.

agreed. i think even dropping bailey and bringing up JHS to play with JT would help as well. We would have 2 scoring lines again a third line that would be very defensively responsible if only Nelson wasnt terrible. wont happen though. weight has no balls to take Bailey away from JT.

It's incredibly stupid to move Bailey away from Tavares before knowing if Ho-Sang can play there. That's why if there was ever a time to put the two together, it's now. See if Ho-Sang provides more than Bailey did in that spot. If so, great. If not, no harm done.

I would say the odds of JHS providing more than Bailey on that first line would be around 1 in a 100

Agreed. But I would say the odds of JHS providing more than Quine on that first line would be around 99 in 100.
Tito looks great on the second line. Can't break them up the way they are playing,.
If everyone got healthy and got their head on straight by the end of the year, I wouldn't mind seeing lines like:
JHS - Tavares - Lee
Eberle - Barzal - Beuvillier
Ladd - Cizikas - Bailey
Clutterbuck - Nelson/Quine - Prince
Would really give us a chance to have 3 real scoring lines. We could also add a more defensive/checking type of 4th liner for a 3rd rounder or later at the deadline too and cut our losses with Nelson. Could also quickly put Bailey back on line 1 if it didn't work out.

YES! YES! YES! YES!
LOL came here to post this.
Guy has a nasty wrist shot, but is a black hole in all other facets of the game. His lack of energy is infectious.
Barzal is so good, he creates enough space for his line mates, and a guy like beauvillier has the talent to take advantage of that.
