Do we have the right mix of players for your choice of ideal mix at present? Don't be ashamed of what you think might be unpopular in drafting your line-up in this thread please.
If you feel Matthews should be straight up starting as our #1 center right out of camp please feel free to express it. If you feel Kadri has greatest value to the team as a 3rd line center please just bounce your idea out there.
I am sincerely interested in getting some outside the box feedback on this roster because quite honestly i keep coming up with question marks and concerns every line-up i scribble one together.
Please just give your thoughts. Thanks.
I will start with some oddball combinations myself:
3Rd line. Matthews centering Willy and Mitch.
4Thline. Laich centering Martin and Leo
1St line Bozak centering Jvr and Hyman.
2Nd line. Kadri centering Rychel and Brown.
Doesn't look like i have much value in the players we recieved from Ottawa because i don't! I also have missed some significant players in Sosnikov and Lievo.
I think my line-up drives the point of needing a trade or two or three to get to a desired line-up.
My favourite lines in my mix are the 2nd and 3rd lines. The first and fourth lines i don't particularly like and view 3 players from them as must trades.
They are Laich, Jvr and Bozak. If we could move Laich i would move Leo to center and insert Rychel to the 4th and add Soshnikov to the second line.
As you can see Greening, Lupul, Michalek and Lievo( who has a 1way deal) aren't even making it in.
This group we have in my view is needing to see management seriously get innovative in finding ways to move players. Jvr can get us a solid defenseman for sure.
Maybe thete will be no trade options and Marner will be back in London. This mix is a nightmare imo.
