Who is Mango?
Andreas Johnsson.
------------------------
We shouldn't be trading him, he's our only good LW.
Who is Mango?
We have so many options for the 4th line next year. Could go all big at times with:
Marchment-Gauthier-Engvall
Could go small at times with:
Timashov-Petan-Bracco
Could do a combination of both.
The lineup gets way easier to manage once guys like Marleau and Brown are gone and you can start mixing in guys that want to scratch and claw for ice time. You could have
as many as 6 guys that you could shift in and out of the lineup with a base of:
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
???-Kadri-Kapanen
???-???-???
Petan, Moore, Gauthier, Marchment, Timashov, Engvall would be my 6 other forwards to start because of waivers and whatnot with Bracco and Korshkov being on standby with the Marlies.

thats awesome! its always cool to meet players!Cool! Still remember meeting his dad as a kid in the garage under the Civic Center after a game.
We dont have much of an option based on cap space...Plus graduating Marlies has been working out pretty well lately for us. The team is very good and has lots of guys ready for NHL jobs. Speed, skill and hardwork is needed in our bottom 6 and the best way to get it is young hungry Marlies.You’ll never see all rookies on the bottom line who will also be needed for pk. Too much risk, Babs needs gud pros to deploy. Bottom pairing d of rookies will be enough excitement on its on let alone 4 rooks playing bottom 6
Would be great beside Gauthier on the 4th line. Can easily do everything Lindholm does but provide some toughness and snarl to our line up
in the mean time. Huge hit and fight today in the Marlies game.

As for the PK forwards...
Marner, Hyman, Kapanen, Moore, Tavares, Gauthier, Engvall....We have options.
They will be forced to play players on elc deals on their bottom lines there is no way around it. Considering that Marner, Hyman & Kap are PKers already it shouldn't be too hard to find another couple players to fill the roll. Dermott when healthy will be on the 3rd pair he aint a rookie.You’ll never see all rookies on the bottom line who will also be needed for pk. Too much risk, Babs needs gud pros to deploy.

Bergeron Marchand seems to be working out pretty well for the Bruins.Marner can kill penalties, but he probably shouldn't do it too regularly. It just takes away ice time from other areas.
Same for Tavares. He and Maner could be used as a pair when we need a goal. I would want them to be 5th and 6th in PK TOI.
Kapanen is not a good PKer. Despite his speed, he is far to slow to recognize what lanes need to be filled.
Moore might be a good PKer, but he's never done it at the NHL level.
I think Gauthier can be a decent PKer, but Babcock clearly doesn't trust him.
Engvall hasn't even made the NHL yet, and likely won't next season.
