Line Combos: Offensive line combos

[Xoggz22]

We stand a good chance to score a LOT of goals this year. Any improvement with our team defense and this team could be a big surprise. If not, it should be a fun roller coaster of ups and downs on the score sheet. We legitimately could have 8 x 20+ goal scorers this year. Including multiple 30+. if we can get the GAA closer to 3.0GAA (about 50 goal reduction), I'm confident we're a playoff team. May be a tall ask but I think this team scores even more than last year. I'm predicting around 277 goals this year:

Laine​	42​	Jenner​	23​	Gaudreau​	32​
Chinakhov​	17​	Roslovic​	21​	Voracek​	13​
Johnson​	10​	Sillinger​	19​	Nyquist​	17​
Robinson​	7​	Kuraly​	8​	Danforth​	9​
Foudy​	3​	​	​	Olivier​	2​
​	​	​	​	​	​
Werenski​	13​	Boqvist​	15​	​	​
Gavrikov​	6​	Peeke​	3​	​	​
Blankenburg​	5​	Gudbranson​	3​	​	​
Bean​	4​	Team​	5​	​	​
​	​	​	​	​	​
Total​	277​

For me you’ve nailed the preferred lineup.

For me you’ve nailed the preferred lineup.

Too bad Olivier is going to be starting game 1 and probably more than he should.

Too bad Olivier is going to be starting game 1 and probably more than he should.

I think Olivier will have a use and be a solid player overall. I don't think he'll hurt us but certainly isn't going to chip in like the others might. Personally, I think Robinson's leash will be much shorter. I can see a fair amount of rotation if players aren't "going". I think Chinakhov needs to be consistent or KJ moves up and that slots in one of the others. I think Danforth stays in the lineup for just about every game this year. Just a hunch. But, to me, Robinson is the guy that is most replaceable by Olivier or Foudy depending on the circumstances - if he doesn't come out playing from game 1.

If Robinson falls off hard from last year then sure I could see that. If he contributes like last year then no chance he is the most replaceable. All of his results were above and beyond what is expected from a 4th liner. If you had 3 4th liners better than that, then you have the best 4th line in the league.

It's that time of the year.
