How did we get Simmonds?
He just showed up.
How did we get Simmonds?
You had Lindholm as your 1CTBH I'm probably one of the few my age that gets to honestly answer I'm not on any meds.
I don't expect many changes in the lines, just players getting bumped down a spot with Matthews and Nylander back in the line-up.
Gramps here. Fun thread. Lets keep it like that. I will take my shot at roster drop and lines. No matter which way it goes we are gunning for the Cup this year folks!!!!!
Marincin gets waived. Babs probably does not like it but he has played in league and everyone knows what he is. Holl and Leivo are still unknowns and much risk with waiving them. Ennis playing too well recently to waive. Goat is other guy who i thought might go. But when i read post about not waiving centres when we have no backup in system that turned my vote around. I think that is right way of thinking it through.
Line I would love to see
Kappy Matty Nylander make a go of it but doubt Babs tries it (likely marleau slips in hereand kappy to kadris line)
Hyman Tavares Marner to good to break up
Marleau Kadri Brown i just think somethingis wrong here but after last nights game i can't drop Brown right now
Leivo Lindholm Ennis again outside 1 shift they played great last night and hard to change success
That leaves me with Johnsson as extra right now which i don't like but his overall play over first part of season has been the weakest
Goat stays up as 2nd extra
I think it is nearly impossible for Babcock to put Brown on the 4th line.
I agree but hope we're both wrongI think it is nearly impossible for Babcock to put Brown on the 4th line.
Deadline deal: 2019 2nd+Timashov for Hagelin (50% retained)
Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Hagelin-Kadri-Kapanen
Johnsson-Lindholm-Brown
Gauthier-Leivo
Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Ozhiganov
Marincin-Holl
Andersen-Sparks
Easily a cup contending team
Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Johnnson-Kadri-Kapanen
Leivo-Lindholm-Brown
It's a shame Babcock is most likely gonna demote AJ to the fourth line and keep Brown on that third line. Even though AJ has been on fire as of late. SMFH.

What I’d like to see
Kappy-Matthews-Willy
Marleau-JT-Marner
Johnsson-Kadri-Hyman
Leivo-Lindholm-Brown
Ennis/Goat
But Babs gonna Babs
you know Babs was hired to coach the team his way, right?
funny thing was... Babcock started Brown on the 4th line last year after he put up 20 goals the year before.I think it is nearly impossible for Babcock to put Brown on the 4th line.
