Line Combos: Hoglander to the top line, Miller demoted to 3rd line

[Canucks1096]

No he wasn't. Miller was basically a 3rd liner in New York. Tortorella also had him as a 3rd liner.

No he wasn't, his last 2 seasons his regular linemates were Grabner and Hayes in 2017, Grabner and Zucarello in 2018. That wasn't the third line. Sure there might be some games he was on the third line but for the most part he was in the top 6. 3rd liner usually don't score 50 plus points.

So do we put Miller on the 2nd line with Horvat and demote Virtanen to the 3rd line? Miller and Horvat showed good chemistry last pre-season during the exhibition games. This team should be entering desperation mode where they try as many new options as possible. Hell, call up Lind soon.

Why isn't anyone calling up Kole Lind?

Why Lind? Has he learned to skate?

Considering the shitshow that is the Canucks. I think they should be playing Juolevi full-time just for development reasons. There is very little reason to keep him out of the lineup.

there is literally nothing to lose

because he can’t be much worse than any combination of Roussel, Sutter, or Eriksson.
