Line Combos: Build a lineup poll #14: 1RD

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Welcome to the Grant Clitsome memorial edition of the lineup poll.

We've made the switch from forward to defense. This poll includes every blueliner reasonably expected to be available to the team whenever the season should start.

Vote for your choice for top pair RD, and the winner will be slotted there and removed from subsequent polls. Sure, there are some nuances such a process doesn't allow for - there will be times when you can't vote for who you'd like at a spot because they've already been slotted somewhere else, or there's a combo you like that gets nixed along the way. You can alter, or not, your subsequent voting accordingly.

Sadly, this projects to have less intrigue even than the forwards.

Forward lines
Alexandre Texier - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Nick Foligno - Max Domi - Cam Atkinson
Boone Jenner - Mikko Koivu - Emil Bemstrom
Liam Foudy - Riley Nash - Mikhail Grigorenko

"leftover" forwards
Nathan Gerbe
Stefan Matteau
Ryan MacInnis
Eric Robinson
Kevin Stenlund

@majormajor -So if I read the results accurately, your top pairing would be Peeke and Vlad. Correct?

No. His pairings are

Gavrikov-Jones
Z-Peeke

he picked Peeke here so he would still be paired with Werenski since he won the first poll

Yes, and I'll admit I don't know how Peeke would do there. I just want to try it and see what happens.

So glad the sarcasm runs deep on this board

Jones is good and all I guess I just think Gavin and Z could wreck the league for years to come. No idea what Dallas was thinking

I mean I understand the sarcasm but he is showing to be a bit of a late bloomer. He could be like our defense version of Stenlund, has his faults but excels in an area the team lacks horribly. If the D takes on some injuries Im sure he'll be one of the 1st call ups and Im curious and hopeful that he could be another Kukan like find who just brings a bit of a different element
