Linholm could have helped TOR in Hyman's absence (playoffs). Nothing more. He's not that great a player, but Petan isn't either.
If we played a center on the PK in the playoffs instead of Hyman we would have been a lot better off. Hyman going against Bergeron/Krejci was beyond stupid. Even Gauthier would have been a better option for the faceoff.

I think Shore the 4th line RW/12th forward (Moore-Spezza-Shore) because of the penalty killing ability that he brings. None of the other guys that he's competing with have that. Agostino will be kept as the 13th forwards since hes a versatile guy who can move up and down the lineup/plays a safe 2 way game that babs loves. This will give agostino the edge over guys like Petan and Aberg.

Y'all got it right sires. He gon be that last thug. That last of a dying breed thug who bring it hard. Agostino might be the one for surely. Marchment is close, but no cigar. Smoke mo, because he gon brang it too. Our hit squad doesn't look hard enough yet, but we might be getting some otha sucka during the deadline. So that gon make us even more harder. Then we ain't got nothing to worry bout mayne and still stay sane. What!

Not a lot recently but I've watched plenty of Gauthier and he's useless

Gauthier is a low event player, he may not score but the other team doesn't either and that has value with this teams makeup

Spezza will be useful on the 2nd PP unit and win some draws, if anybody thinks he's capable of anything else their in for a shock, if he loses a draw in his own zone your about to learn what good old fashioned fear feels like

Shore. Need a centre who can kill penalties.
Literally any of our centers COULD kill penalties, we just need Babcock to smarten up. All you really need a center for is the draw and then it doesn't matter after that.

I never understood why Babs hard matched Tavares against Bergeron in every situation except for the PK where he had Hyman vs. Bergeron and you might as well just hand the Bruins possession at that point.

Send out a right shot and left shot C for the faceoff, have the guy on his strong side take it, and if you need them off the ice change once the puck is out.
