Line Combos: 2015-16 Minnesota Wild Line Combos Thread

[Dr Jan Itor]

Man, I don't know what's going to happen this year, but this definitely my favorite opening roster ever.

 

[TaLoN]

That defense is unreal!

 

[J22*]

that defense is so sexy...

Really hoping that Brodin-Dumba pairing can be so good that we could also consider them our #1 pairing, the late in the game combo that can get the puck in the net.

I hope Spurgeon can play well enough to keep that pair together. They are a lot of fun to watch play.

Man, I don't know what's going to happen this year, but this definitely my favorite opening roster ever.

Agreed. Should be an entertaining season.

It's rather encouraging that every year for the past several years we've been able to say "this is the most talented roster in Wild history!".

Problem is, every damn team in the Central is saying the same things.

What, you'd rather be division rivals with all those west coast jerks and get all the 9:30pm starts?

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Parise-Granlund-Pominville
Zucker-Koivu-Nino
Vanek-Graovac-Coyle
Carter-Haula-Schroeder


Suter-Spurgeon
Dumba-Brodin
Scandella-Folin

Let's go.

Missing Porter?

 

[AKL]

Missing Porter?

Who in that top 12 is he better than besides no one?

 

[TaLoN]

Missing Porter?

He's the extra that will only play depending on matchups.

 

[Harvest]

So what happens to Grao when Fontaine and Haula are back in the lineup?

 

[MuckOG]

So what happens to Grao when Fontaine and Haula are back in the lineup?

I suppose that depends on how well he is playing.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

So what happens to Grao when Fontaine and Haula are back in the lineup?

I would much rather try and establish Graovac than Fontaine or Schroeder who are what they are and don't have much upside left.

 

[TaLoN]

Waive Schroeder

 

[57special]

I still don't know what Schroeder is, besides fast. Fast is nice, but I've got to see some consistent play by him that shows me something. I just see the odd promising shift, then he disappears.

sorta agree. The D, especially, are exciting, but will love to see how the young guns progress.

G still has me worried, as does the lack of grit/physicality on this team, but ya can't have everything.

Central division rules.

They just need to redo the playoff structure. Like open up the second round.

 

[keppel146]

I think switching up the defensive pairings is going to boost everyone's offensive numbers and do wonders for the team. you can already tell in preseason that the Dmen are way more involved. this could be the year...

Or just give the Central 7 playoff spots to the Pacific's 1.

That seems fair with the talent balance right?

About right to me...

The window is opening. It's not wide open for us to just fly through, but it's a little bit open alright.

I love the way the team has grown and been coming together. Also Yeo. I think he's evolved with the team immensely. It's a great path they're on together and I feel it's kind of bound for the ultimate prize.

Hell the young ones could very well all explode at the same time and we wouldn't have to worry about the window anymore. The flock would just blast down the wall which holds the window.

The way they played early last season and after the ASG is probably the most dominant performance I've seen in the league in 20 years. That was some great team work hockey. Think about only getting better this year... wow.

Or we miss the playoffs. It's hockey after all.

Defensively this team has depth and skill; offensively this team is questionable. Center has me more worried than goalies. Granlund and Coyle need to take that next step.

 

[Frk It]

Who would you guys rather have in fantasy...

Granlund or Dumba?

As an outsider I really like both, not sure who is more poised to break out though.

 

[TaLoN]

Dumba's game is going to explode this year, but hopefully Granlund's going to see a boost in numbers being on the top pp unit.
