Hm. So, Miller is going to be used in the higher leverage defensive role?
Based on those lines, I think management/coaching is going to try and give the nod to the
Dickinson-Lazar-Joshua line for those defensive assignments........maybe similar to what Pittsburgh was doing with Bluegar and Reese in terms of getting their 4th line to take on the toughest defensive assignments. Those other three lines we have all look geared to produce some offence. Pearson will act as the defensive conscience for Miller and Boeser (i.e. arguably our two worst defensive forwards). Garland-Horvat-Podkolzin will likely be expected to get in on the forecheck and dominate down low while Kuzemko-Pettersson-Mikheyev will be the skill, speed, and grit line in which most of our offence will be expected to come from. Will be interesting to see if the strategy works. Either way, better than whatever "oral agreement" that Green and Petan had from last pre-season.
