Andy

Line 1: Johnsson is a hard forechecker with more finish than Hyman. His LHS opens up passing more for Matty and Bill.

Line 2: It works, Marner drives it.

Line 3: JVR and Bozak are most successful when they’re playing the cycle game. Hyman is strong on the boards and cycling the puck.

Line 4: Skill, speed, hustle and defensive acumen. It’s a great 4th line.

D pair 1: They’ve worked well in their brief stint together. Find success in moving the puck quickly.

D pair 2: Zaitsev and Hainsey have has it tough lately, this is a bit of a gamble but I think they compliment each other well.

D pair 3: Dermott is the anchor here, Babs can choose Carrick or Polak depending on how he feels.

We'll need 13 forwards and 7 D in the playoffs more than likely.

If we play Boston look for 47 to play with 12-43. If we play Tampa 16 is with 12-43 and 47 slots in with 19-24.

As much as I'd like 18 to get in there I don't think he gets in unless a) an injury occurs or b) we get down in a series and offence isn't clicking/needs a shakeup.

Yeah I could see this working pretty well.


They won't take Komo or Brown out of the lineup for Johnsson. Leivo never had a spot to lose.

No need to make the PK worse for slightly better offence that isn't really a need.

You're probably right about that. I do think it would work quite well though.

Marner has owned the league the last few months. He's not going back to the 4th line with Matt Martin.

I do get your logic the kadri line is gonna face Boston’s or Tampa’s big line in the playoffs and babs would prob be more comfortable with Leo up there it’s just I can’t see how putting your leading scorer on the fourth line is gonna help you win
