Seriously. Look at the Penguins. How many times have Crosby and Malkin been injured? They always bounce back.

The problem with this team is the shitty back up goaltending and play in back to backs.

If they are even .400, they have 4-5 more points.

We need guys to step up and play well for 60 mins.

St. Louis has been without Steen/Tarasenko/Sundqvist and traded Fabbri.
Only Andersen plays 60 minutes.

Damn when I wanted AJ off the top line I was thinking more like elite third liner putting up a goal every 4 games.

This "gone" went too far.

We'll probably play the whole year with active roster players on the LTIR, avoiding having to trade someone away. Which I imagine was MGMT's assumption going in. Unfortunately none of this space will be used to acquire a backup or grit.

Johnsson was outstanding when he played with Marner and Tavares.
He never had chemistry with Matthews.
Hopefully he gets a shot with Tavares-Nylander.

Johnsson - Matthews - Nylander had some amazing underlying offensive numbers (possession and corsi) when they played together if I remember correctly. They just didn't have good defensive play and had some bad luck with on ice shooting % (if somebody can back me up or correct me for sure, but this is what I remember).

When healthy (minus Mikheyev), I see something like the following:

Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Hyman - Tavares - Nylander
Engvall - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Timo/Spezza - Gauthier - Moore

You can switch Johnsson/Hyman as well as Engvall with the 4th liners as you see fit.

Then if Mikheyev does come back this year, he could push Johnsson down to the 3rd line or take Engvall's place himself (pushing Engvall to the 4th line), which looks pretty great to me.

Then we just need to trade Ceci + picks/prospects for a stabling influence for Rielly to hopefully fix the D.

I've been wanting to see that too, that line would keep anybody on their toes.
AJ wasn't working out on AM's line but this guy still has great speed and isn't afraid to get to the net, great 3rd liner.

The line suggestion is very digestable and perfetto like coffee. :coffee: :mug: :tea:

AJ is aaaight, but he ain't no killa for scrilla. We still need our thug under the sun. Unless we ain't trading for a thug, we'll not be able to prevail in the playoffs period. History will repeat itself. We need a sparkler who gets everybody together.
