Line Combos: 2016 - 2017 lineup

[AK1990]

Lets pretend everything goes our way (for a change) and we land the 1st overall pick and the rumours of Stamkos coming home are true and he signs a 7 x $10 mil deal

would this be playoff caliber forwards lineup.

Van Riemsdyk / Matthews / Stamkos
Komarov / Kadri / Nylander
Leivo / Bozak / Marner
Leipsic / Froese / Winnik

to me that looks pretty solid.

Thoughts?

Kadri would be traded then and Nylander would be 2nd line center

 

[Fogelhund]

Personally I think Bozak is traded before Kadri is.

Where did Lupul magically disappear to?

 

[613Leafer]

If we got BOTH Stamkos and Matthews, Id definitely trade one of Bozak/Kadri, maybe both. Use them to do some combination of adding a RHD, a goalie, and/or picks/prospects/capspace.

Go into the season with Stamkos-Matthews-Nylander-Froese as your centres, Holland as a winger who can slide over to centre in case of injury.

 

[PuckMagi]

Nylander - Matthews - Stamkos
JVR - Bozak - Lupul
Leivo - Kadri - Marner
Winnik - Holland - Komorov

realistically:

Nylander - Stamkos - Marner
JVR - Bozak - Lupul
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
Winnik - Holland - Komorov

Our D sucks big time though. I also think we'll trade Kadri so that Stamkos and Nylander can be #1 and #2 centers. Or maybe we'll trade Bozak.

Leivo - Kadri - Brown
Winnik - Holland - Komorov

More realistic chance we get Matthews than get Stamkos.

If I were a betting man:

By the end of 2016..

JVR - Bozak - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Puljujärvi
Leivo - Nylander - Parenteau
Soshnikov - Holland - Lupul
Winnik

Hunwick - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Percy - Corrado
Cowen

For kicks, I did my own lottery as well - and went into dreamland with Stamkos:
4th Overall:

JvR-Stamkos-Marner
Michalek-Nylander-Komarov
Leivo-Kadri-Bickell
Winnik-Holland-Soshnikov
Lupul

Huwick-Rielly
Gardiner-Zeitsev
Chychrun-Corrodo
Percy

Reimer
Ward

 

[pheasant]

No way Stamkos plays on the wing. He is our #1 C if he signs here.

 

[Doc300c]

JVR - Stamkos - Marner
Michalek - Kadri - Matthews
Leivo - Nylander - Komarov
Soshnikov - Forese - Winnik

IR:
Lupul

Traded:
Bozak

 

[saltming]

I would rather have one or the other
JVR Stamkos/Mathews Marner
Lupul Nylander Komo
Leivo/Leipsic Kadri Kapanen
Leivo/Leipsic Holland Winnik
Let the kids play.

What does it look like if Leafs don't win the lottery to get Matthews and Stamkos resigns in TB?

Eric Stall?

Edit: I definitely misinterpreted the post ahah

 

[hamzarocks]

Where did Lupul magically disappear to?

To the land of memories. He can join Robbins and get "injured" for the next 2 years of his deal.

 

[MJ65]

Eric Stall?

Why would you sign Staal? he is already 34 and not the same player, he used to be

 

[egd27]

Looks like another bottom 10 finish I'm guessing?

 

[namttebih]

This. I can't believe that people are actually penciling him in on the wing.

 

[WTFMAN99]

This. I can't believe that people are actually penciling him in on the wing.

He has played 22 games on the wing this year to be fair.

That being said, I'm becoming less interested by the day in him. He's not even close to being a 10+ million dollar player.

I think most Leaf fans in here are going by the name and actually haven't seen him much.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

JVR - Bozak - Michalek
Komarov - Kadri - Marner
Holland - Nylander - Lupul
Winnik - Froese - Leivo
Soshnikov, Greening

Gardiner - Rielly
Hunwick - Zaitsev
Chychrun - Corrado
Percy/Harrington/Loov

Reimer
Bernier

Probably another losing season with that roster.

I agree. If the price is 10 million than I rather stay away from Stamkos.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about then, unless of course the Leafs haven't seen him much either.

I was saying before 9-9.5...and even then I'm not comfortable.

Usually you hear about pro scouts at games at times throughout the year. We haven't heard anything at all in regards to the Leafs scouts being at the Tampa games.

It is possible that the Leafs are trying to avoid any circus around something like this by simply having their pro scouts purchase tickets.

Probably gave them a free subscription to Game Center.

 

[tmlms13]

Stamkos won't come here if they're going to play him on the wing.
