whos going to be this years gourde, coleman and goodrow?
We’re not going to have anything like
that 3rd line. That was an elite line that very few teams have the luxury to put together outside of their top 6. But in general, who knows? That’s one of the big questions heading into training camp. 4th line is a mystery as well to see who will play along side Luke Glendening. It’s been a while since we went into a season with this many questions.
As of today I’d guess Hagel-Point-Kucherov stay together as the top line, and Cirelli, Paul, and Stamkos form the 2nd. That leaves Sheary, Jeannot, and Eyssimont as your next best forwards. Can that work as a combination? You gotta try to figure out what maximizes both Sheary and Jeannots offensive production this season. With where to put Eyssimont, imo he’s better suited to a 4th line role, but it’s hard to deny him ice time.
Im not crazy about the remaining options in Archibald, Watson (PTO), or Logan Brown. I would much rather see if Barre-Boulet and Merela can be top-9 guys and win jobs.
