Line Combos: 2018/19 Line Combinations

[Wo Yorfat]

Why is this thread labeled “2018-2019 lines”

Should say “2018-2023 lines” as we have 7 players locked up long term in terrible deals with NTC. Our line this year will look exactly
The same for the next 4 years.

Then it would be 2018-2022. Hit your nose w the closest newspaper.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser - (The top line)
Eriksson - Gaudette - Pettersson - (Plays only 10-12 of even strength mins a night, with bonus PP time)
Roussel - Sutter - Virtanen - (3rd line, but plays 2nd line mins at even strength like last year)
Schaller - Beagle - Gagner - (4th line, but plays 3rd line even strength mins)
Goldobin, Granlund

Edler - Stecher (The top pair to start the season)
Hughes - Tanev ( A solid 2nd pair, and possibly top pair by seasons end)
Hutton (Gets his chance to impress Travis Green, but plays with Guddy) - Gudbranson - (A true 3rd pair)
Del Zotto, Pouliot

Markstrom - (Gets ~55 starts)
Nilsson - (If not traded, gets ~20 starts with Demko getting the rest)

PP 1
Horvat (Goal line/ net front)
Gaudette (Oshie spot)
Boeser (You know where)
Pettersson (See Boeser)
Hughes (Passing it to Boeser!)

PP 2
Gagner (Boeser spot lol)
Baertschi (Right half wall)
Eriksson (Goal line/net front)
Sutter (You know it'll happen, and he'll be in the Oshie spot)
Edler (With no Boeser to worry about, he can't pass up the chance of passing it to Gagner! lol)


Trade bait - Eriksson (If Goldobin/Dahlen look ready then retain salary, and get what you can), Goldobin (if he doesn't impress early), Granlund (No space for him, so he'll be 4th line/13th forward until a trade happens), Hutton (see Goldobin), Del zotto (On 3rd pair if Hutton can't cut it, or with Tanev if Hughes can't make the team. If not, he's traded), Pouliot (Likely 7 D-man unless Hutton impresses/Hughes can't make the team)

If Pettersson, and Hughes have Boeser-like rookie seasons, we may have a good season. However, it's far more likely they don't, and we'll be a bottom 5-10 team again.

I just cant believe we have 10 forwards more or less locked up to start next year.

Baertschi
Horvat
Boeser
Gagner
Sutter
Pettersson
Schaller
Virtanen
Roussel
Beagle
Eriksson

Those FA signings really did a number on trying to go with any kind of a youth movement. Holy hell. How does this happen on a multi-million dollar pro sports team?

Duh It’s Gillis’s fault obviously.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Duh It’s Gillis’s fault obviously.

No, it's because this horrible market can't stand a rebuild.

 

[DonnyNucker]

Who the hell is going to score on this team outside of the obvious two players?

This lineup is atrocious.

I heard that Petterson kid likes to score

 

[pgj98m3]

Which is Gillis’s fault....get with the program man.

What are those piles of players below the lineups?

 

[Wo Yorfat]

It’s plausible that in 2/3 yrs our most valuable pieces will be named Bo, Brock, Quinn, Elias, and Thatcher. HM: Jett

What happened to the Mikes, the Johns, the Dannys..

Why post this?

Is it funny? No.
Is it original? f*** no.
Is it on topic? No.

No idea why the anti-Benning crew always feel the need to bring up Gillis. He's not even involved with hockey anymore for f*** sakes.

Its a joke. The Benning Bro's always bring up Gillis when things go wrong.

When's the last time that happened? It's really just you and your ilk that does it.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

You realize Canucks JUST resigned Granlund. He’s not sitting out.

Second, not a team in any league is touching Erikson, regardless of retaining some salary. Worst contract in the NHL.

Third, you’re 4th line is the most over paid / under achieving line in the NHL

Lastly , Jake Virtanen has 0 business being on any line higher than 4. Maybe not even.

Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser - (The top line)
Eriksson - Gaudette - Pettersson - (Plays only 10-12 of even strength mins a night, with bonus PP time)
Roussel - Sutter - Virtanen - (3rd line, but plays 2nd line mins at even strength like last year)
Schaller - Beagle - Gagner - (4th line, but plays 3rd line even strength mins)
Goldobin, Granlund

Edler - Stecher (The top pair to start the season)
Hughes - Tanev ( A solid 2nd pair, and possibly top pair by seasons end)
Hutton (Gets his chance to impress Travis Green, but plays with Guddy) - Gudbranson - (A true 3rd pair)
Del Zotto, Pouliot

Markstrom - (Gets ~55 starts)
Nilsson - (If not traded, gets ~20 starts with Demko getting the rest)

Gaudette (Oshie spot)

PP 2

BS. This market has been asking for a real rebuild for years. Blaming managements incompetence on the fans is garbage.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

This summer. After the draft.

 

[JT Milker]

I'm going to guess it'll be (ignoring injuries):

Baertschi Horvat Boeser
Eriksson Sutter Pettersson
Roussel Gagner Virtanen
Schaller Beagle Granlund

Edler Gudbranson
Del Zotto Tanev
Pouliot Stecher

And it's going to suck.

We will be in the bottom 3 for goals scored..id like to ask Linden how US going to be a younger team this year.as he stated.is going to work with a line up filled with 3rd and 4th line vets..Or was he talking about the Comets smh...

 

[PG Canuck]

Okay?

What happened to the Mikes, the Johns, the Dannys..

And i'm getting really sick of guys named Todd. Hi what's your name? Todd.I'm Todd. And this is Blake, and Blaire and Blaine and Brent. Where all these goofy f***ing boys names comin' from. Taylor, Tyler, Jordan, Flynn. These are not real names. You want to hear a real name? Eddie. Eddie is a real name, what happened to Eddie he was hear a minute ago. Jackie and Johnny and Tommy and Bill. Danny, Larry, Johnny, and Phil. What happened? Todd. And Cody, and Dillon, and Cameron, and Tucker. Hi Tucker, i'm Todd. Hi Todd, i'm Tucker. f*** Tucker, Tucker sucks. And f*** Tuckers friend Kyle. that's another soft name for a boy. Kyle. Soft names make soft people. I'll bet you ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinnie, and Tony would beat the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker

It’s been happening since 2014
