I think it's pretty weird that we've never seen Provorov-Gudas Sanheim-Ghost pairings.

I can understand moving G to center to try and improve depth and get more out of JVR, and I can even understand riding it with as long as they did despite the lack of production because of the winning. That being said, its not become detrimental to the team. The PP is a f***ing abomination and ill never understand what they were thinking there.

Giroux can definitely still play center, it’s just that the line combinations fit together so much better with him at wing.
I also don’t mind them trying different lines, but once it’s proven to not work you have to go back to what has worked or at least try something else.

Agreed. The punishment and biases are crystal clear and predictable.
G is the man. We are so lucky to have such an elite star...Which makes it even more idiotic they consistently handicap him at every turn. Not only with inferior players on the roster in general but directly impacting his ability to generate offence. "Let's get Hagg out there with G's line whenever we can".
They need to play Myers. Either the ice time shows sooner he isn’t what they need and they can change plans or he gets the needed ice time to improve. That’s an organizational decision. If coach isn’t playing him somebody higher needs to make the call.

Hagg being out with Giroux so often is one of the most insane things they do.
Our best offensive player being stuck with our worst... what could go wrong?
I actually think it would be worthwhile to try Patrick on Giroux's LW. I think Patrick needs to improve his play without the puck. A (temporary) move to wing might help him focus on that, and having an elite playmaker next to him would really open up his game.

Fletcher and Gordon should have a lineup suggestions box from the fans outside the WFC to push for a Provorov-Gudas, Sanheim-Ghost pairing just to try them out.
JVR-Giroux and current PP1 work well in their practice sessions. And they look good on video. That's all that matters.

The AMac usage makes me think nobody here understands hockey. This is the 5th year of him getting constant minutes despite what appears to be awful play. Maybe we're wrong? Maybe we're blind and idiotic in our judgement? It's the only remaining possibility.

May be something or may be nothing but Laine whispers from Winnipeg. Remember there was a report that they would sign him short term and he wasn’t going to be there very long.
I know it’s very unlikely but it seems like there is some fire where that smoke is. I wonder what they are having issues about.

He is the typical likeable but inept elder employee that was already here before the current managing director took over. He doesn't have role, he doesn't bring anything to the table but nobody feels responsible for him.

Patrick has been doing great without the puck for a while, even when he wasn't scoring. He's a center, and nothing else.

Yeah, if anything, move G to wing with Patrick as the C.
He probably wants Matthews money and they don’t want to pay it. Winnipeg is a budget team and they have a ton of guys coming up for big money.

Can't have JVR and Simmonds on the same line.

Simmonds and JVR being together on the 3rd line until Monday is better than wasting TK down there and letting Simmonds ruin that other line.

Now that NAK has shown that he's healthy, he should be going into Simmonds' spot after he has been traded.
Bailey is a big bodied, fast skating guy who doesn't seem to have many hockey skills. If he did, he wouldn't have been traded.
Varone doesn't belong in the NHL. Perhaps Fletcher can obtain someone to play checking line center at the TDL.
