I've seen it cluttering other threads, and several other fanbases have a special thread for this, so let's start. Most 'consensus' top9 forward lines look like this:
Ladd-Little-X
Perreault-Scheifele-X
X-Lowry-X
where X are filled by RW Wheeler, RW Stafford, LW/RW Burmistrov, and RW/LW Ehlers.
Fun with super-WOWYs last season:
Ladd-Little-Wheeler:
486:40 min, 53.6 OZone%, 56.9 CF%, 63.9 GF% (23-13)
Ladd-Little-Frolik:
289:59 min, 60.2 OZone%, 51.7 CF%, 50.0 GF% (8-8)
Perreault-Scheifele-Wheeler:
79:26 min, 49.0 OZone%, 66.2 CF%, 100.0 GF% (3-0)
Perreault-Scheifele-Frolik:
247:50 min, 48.9 OZone%, 55.7 CF%, 48.1 GF% (13-14)
Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler:
180:38 min, 50.3 OZone%, 45.6 CF%, 84.6 GF% (11-2)
What I read into these numbers:
a) LLW are real gud keep them together pls best jets line evar
b) LLF was not such a good idea. Makes me hesitant to put Frolik 2.0 (aka Burmistrov) on the first line.
c) PSW hardly played together
d) PSF was pretty good, although the results didn't come
e) SSW was pretty bad, although the results look awesome
My personal conclusion:
Ladd-Little-Wheeler
Perreault-Scheifele-Stafford
Burmistrov-Lowry-Ehlers
If Ehlers is good, switch him with Stafford.
Do NOT dismantle LLW. Only think about that if Ehlers is trending for a Calder trophy run.
Your thoughts?
Oh, and my fourth line would be Thorburn-Copp-Armia.
