Line Combos: HFPens Decides - Give Sid a RW

[Al Smith]

@virothepyro @Benn14 @Rodgerwilco @K Fleur @Hungamania @Pens x @EightyOne

Why Zucker?

+ @Al Smith

I guess I don't get the thread. As long as we're venturing into fantasy land by not having Jake on Sid's left, in this bizarro world I'd "want to see" (per instructions) how Zucker, who's proven to have some chemistry with Sid, would do on his off wing, just out of curiosity. We all know it's going to be Jake-Sid-Kap, so I'm not sure why we have to stay in fantasy land on one wing, but can't venture there on the other side.

Nah, you got the spirit of the thread. Thanks for the explanation.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Guentzel - Crosby - Kapanen
Zucker - Malkin - Rust

Would be my best guess of what the top six will be to start.

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Haha

Zucker - Crosby - Granlund
Guentzel - Malkin - Rust
McCann - Bonino - Kapanen
Jankowski - Blueger - Tanev

* Able to sign Granlund after a month or so into the season.

* Guerin gives us Bonino(as planned) for ZAR, Riikola, and Sceviour. Completing the Zucker trade. 2nd part of it was giving them Bjugstad for an 8th round pick while retaining 2mil. But Was contingent on them trading for Bonino in his contract year, and allowing us to unload those 3 contracts(ZAR 1 mil), Riikola(1.25), Sceviour (1.25) in order to fit his.

I see you're the creative type.

 

[Zirakzigil]

In that case...

Genos unit will be...

Guentzel, Malkin, Zucker
Crosby, Rust

Lets go full Pejorative Slur! Malkin - Crosby - Guentzel top line!!

Zucker - Crosby - Kapanen
Poulin - Malkin - Rust
McCann - Guentzel - Tanev
Jankowski - Blueger - XXX

I think we'd do a lot better with this line up, it's the ole bamboozle for teams.

Aston-Reese, Crosby, Tanev
McCann, Jankowski, Sceviour
Guentzel, Malkin, Rust
Zucker, Blueger, Kapanen

Forgot about Sceviour to be honest. Probably should go:

Aston-Reese - Crosby - Tanev
Kapanen - McCann - eRod
Blueger - Jankowski - Malkin
Zucker - Sceviour - Guentzel

Maximum bamboozle razzle dazzle.

 

[EightyOne]

It's at least be confusing to game plan against lol lol

That looks like the makings of a really good Chinese fire drill.

Cant gameplan for crazy

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I don't think McCann has played RW?

He did yeah, with Jake. Been a while though. Wouldn't mind revisiting it.
Was watching the season highlights and he scores from the RW a fair amount. I like when strong shooters have their handedness angled towards the middle of the ice.

I don't know how to verify, but I think Jake was switched to RW for that.

Edit: I'm calling this poll early and am opening another poll that should be done early.

Yeah I believe that was the case too.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Yep, Jake was on RW.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yep, Jake was on RW.

Well then we can add Jake as an option

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Well then we can add Jake as an option

It wouldn't be a go-to for me right off, but I wouldn't rule it out if Kapanen fails to click in our top 6.

Of course, my default is always to simply trade for a legit RH RW top 6 winger, who can also help the PP. But we're asset-deprived now so that'll probably be a tall order.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

We can't to this poll because he's already with Geno.

 

[Pens x]

Way too many people are neglecting to put our analytical darling Rodrigues in their lineups.

Also, people seem to keep forgetting about Sceviour.

These guys will be the glue that keeps our team together this year.
