Line Combos: Lines 2016-2017

[Oilception]

Is there going to be a GDT thread soon? I know the game isnt till tomorrow but season opener I think shoul dbe up a little early

 

[LMFAO]

Puljujärvi belongs nowhere near an NHL roster. what a shame.

Yes but he's not expected to carry the team on his shoulders, he's 9th on the dep chart

 

[the pen is mightier]

9 games is only a junior thing. he can play 10 and still go down to the ahl

I think the contract still slides if he goes down to the AHL. Don't quote me on that though.

This is true.

And if it was an OHL player you can send them back to the OHL at any time, but you cannot call them up, if its after 9 games, it burns a year of ELC, if its over 41 games it burns a year of RFA.

For example - Draisaitl.

 

[FlameChampion]

Did Benning get sent down?

 

[golgoXIII]

I realy Hope Maroon take Pouliot place on the 2nd line .

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

So after all that, our opening day lineup has one right-handed defenceman?

What a mess

Yikes ... not good

 

[ujju2]

What a mess

Not so bad. This offseason, we have added:
2 RHD (Larsson and Benning)
1 LHD (Russell)

It's just that the LHD beat out some of the RHD that were on the team last year (Gryba, Fayne).
So while we have 4 RHD, as opposed to 3 last year, only one (the one we added) is good enough to be on the team this year. Which tells me that our defence has improved greatly (Gryba and Fayne made the roster last year)

right right, forgot its a contract thing. i still hope to see him play some NA hockey in the ahl first

 

[MessierII]

Just a bad situation. If drai goes back to C and Pulijaarvi struggles then what? Kassian becomes our #2 right wing? It's a bad situation to end up in. So much available on the waiver wire I don't get it.

Caggiula plays in top 6.. not a big deal

 

[The Bored Man]

Rosters had to be submitted at 3:00 MT, right? Did the Oilers announce anything? They had 24 this morning, so one of Slepyshev/Lander/Fayne/Benning would have to go down.

 

[MessierII]

Again another rookie. What if he doesn't accomplish much the first 10 games and needs time in Bakersfield. It's the same old story and it could have been addressed for free without giving up assets.

Lander clear so I guess he would be the obvious one

36 Drake Caggiula

 

[The Bored Man]

They sent Caggiula down instead of Lander?

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

They sent Caggiula down instead of Lander?

No, he's listed as an injured non- roster player. Probably will send Lander down once Cagguila is healthy since Lander has already cleared waivers.

 

[Digger12]

They sent Caggiula down instead of Lander?

No, I read that as Caggiula can't be put on the active roster until he is cleared to play for tomorrow, at which point Lander will be sent down.

Slepy will be in the pressbox, and he'll be joined by Fayne and Benning.

 

[The Bored Man]

Ahh, I missed that part of the release. Good stuff. The Drake has been a pleasant surprise.

 

[hallhopkinseberle]

No, I read that as Caggiula can't be put on the active roster until he is cleared to play for tomorrow, at which point Lander will be sent down.

Slepy will be in the pressbox, and he'll be joined by Fayne and Benning.

No Gryba though?

 

[Hugo McStiglitz]

No Gryba though?

Chia was on Oilers Now today and said they'll sign and waive Gryba and he will start the season in the minors.

 

[Titsuple]

Lucic - McDavid - Eberle
Pouliot - RNH - Pitlick
Maroon - Drai - Pulj
Sleppy - Letestu - Kassian

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Russel
Nurse - Davidson

Talbot
Gust

Thats how I would roll tomorrow

 

[Nordic*]

I have an idea. Most will not like it, but a possible way to wake RNH up.

Pouliot-McDavid-RNH

Lucic-Draisaitl-Eberle

Slepyshev-Lander-Kassian

Maroon-Letestu-Pitlick


Two scoring lines, two defensive lines that can create offensive zone pressure and draw penalties, tire the opposing teams out.

Then when Pulju is ready, the third line can become more of a threat too.

This is mainly to get Hopkins involved offensively. To get him going through confidence, would be like aquiring a completely new 65-70 point player, which is a first liner in today's NHL.

Thought?

It wouldn't be right to do that to Maroon.
