Why wave any of Ennis, Leivo or Goat, just waive Marincin. 2 forwards and 1 d extra like every other NHL team. Anyway we have more NHL ready D than forwards.
That's why I'm kind of hoping that Kap can be that scoring presence with Marleau and Kadri on the 3rd line. That's a part of the spreading out the scoring idea when you have 2 elite talents on each of your first 2 lines.I have never been a fan of Hyman being on the same line as Marner. Marner's a thoroughbred passer and IMO needs to play with two scoring threats.
I would like to see Hyman on Kadri's line - Kadri gets most of his ES points from working the corners and the boards, so I think the two might work together. You would need some scoring ability on the other wing though, because you can't expect Kadri to produce with Hyman and Brown as his wingers, for example.
Judging from the coaches preference I think Holl would be waivedWhy wave any of Ennis, Leivo or Goat, just waive Marincin. 2 forwards and 1 d extra like every other NHL team. Anyway we have more NHL ready D than forwards.

We've seen Hyman work with Matthews and Nylander, maybe they revert back to some older lines and put Johnsson with Tavares and Marner.Oh I like the idea of spreading out the scoring, it's just that I personally would prefer to find a combination where Hyman isn't out there with Marner.

Babs has also played the hell out on Ron Hainsey for several years on his wrong side. I don't completely buy into Babs obsession with proper handedness with his dmen. Or maybe Hainsey is his exception, who knows. Babcock falls in love with certain players and I think it's his weakness as a coach. Hainsey shouldn't be on the top pairing and Hyman shouldn't be in the top 6.
