Player Discussion Jordan Eberle

[backhandsauce]

Once he returns, who do you think he should play with?

I wanted him to have a chance to play with McDavid but I'm not sure we want to split the 67-97-10 line.

Do we go back to the 4-93-14 line?

I hope TM gets Eberle on the PP with McDavid at least.

I don't think the McDavid-Yak pairing should be broken up, they're playing too well together. When full healthy, I'd like to see:

Hendricks - RNH - Eberle
Pou - McDavid - Yakupov
Hall - Lander - Korpikoski
Klinkhammer - Letestu - Purcell

 

[doulos]

Eberle will be with Hall and Nuge to start. I can't see the coach trying to overthink things there.

 

[McDrai]

I would like to see:

Pouliot/RNH/Eberle
Hall/McDavid/Yakupov

 

[vincent1999]

eberle

it's gotta be either:

Pouliot/RNH/Eberle
Hall/McDavid/Yakupov

or

Hall/RNH/Eberle
Pouliot/McDavid/Yakupov


the other two lines are some combination of:
Hendricks - Lander - Korpikoski
Klinkhammer - Letestu - Purcell

although I'd much prefer to see Slepyshev to be playing in the bottom two lines and leaving a Klinkhammer or Purcell in the press box

whatever makes the most sense in terms of match-up with the opponent and has the best line-mate chemistry

 

[ehhteen]

McDavid to Eberle on the PP... Get ready for a heavy dose of Stadium Love.

 

[KlefDown]

Line 1. Kid Line (Hall - RNH - Ebs)
Line 2. ConYak line (Pou - McD - Yaks)

why stop there? might as well go with:

Hendricks - RNH - Purcell
Pou - McDavid - Yakupov
Hall - Lander - Korpikoski
Klinkhammer - Letestu - Eberle

 

[Oilfan2]

Line 1. Kid Line (Hall - RNH - Ebs)
Line 2. ConYak line (Pou - McD - Yaks)

2nd line is younger than the 'Kid Line..

 

[IV XIV XCI]

Any word on the shoulder?

 

[Connor McSaviour]

What's the word on his injury? It's been 4+ weeks since he got hurt.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Yak and mcdavid clicks. Nuge and hall need to step it up and maybe with eberle they will

 

[Soundwave]

Put Eberle with Hall and RNH, he will help both of them.

McDavid stays with Yakupov and Pouliot.

This is pretty much a no brainer.

 

[Dorian2]

I would like to see:

Pouliot/RNH/Eberle
Hall/McDavid/Yakupov

I'd like to see that as well. Once Eberle is back, we have a few more options with line combos. Better still when Hendricks is back as well.

 

[Faelko]

Put Eberle with Hall and RNH, he will help both of them.

McDavid stays with Yakupov and Pouliot.

This is pretty much a no brainer.

Yup!

 

[Old Boys Club]

I know some will think otherwise but when Ebs comes back I'd like to see:

Hall-Nuge-Eberle
Pou-McDavid-Yak
Slepy-Lander-Pakman
Korpi-Letestu-Purcell

I know it is a lot of youth, especially on the third line, but it is pretty clear the bottom 6 needs a shake up. Give that line a few games to see if they can produce, if not then switch it up. Top two lines are common sense.

I enjoy that, Hendricks over Purcell. Many options over Purcell.

You could also throw Mcdavid with Hall and Yak.

That is very soft but maybe add some more muscle to defence if that's the case, can not have the boys getting run over.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

I'd like 3 lines going.

Pouliot - Nuge - Eberle
Hall - Lander - Slepy
Pak / Hend - McD - Yak
Korpse - Letstu - Hend / Pak
Gazdic

 

[Aceboogie]

Hall-McDavid-Yak

I think Hall can be coached to lug the puck less and give it to ConYak more

 

[Aceboogie]

I dont think we are ready for 3 scoring lines. Lander isnt as good so far this year. Hed drag a skill line down. Slepy isnt ready either

Maybe in a yera if Slepyshev develops more and Lander rebounds, but right now we are very well suited for 2 really god top lines

 

[Joey Moss]

I know Pouliot has had success with McYak but I think the obvious decision would be

Pouliot - RNH - Eberle
Hall - McDavid - Yakupov

 

[Senor Catface]

Pouliot - RNH - Purcell
Hall - McDavid - Slepy

Pressbox: Yakupov, Eberle

 

[Dorian2]

Pouliot - RNH - Purcell
Hall - McDavid - Slepy

Pressbox: Yakupov, Eberle

Agreed 110%. Also put Ference and Nikitin on with the top line.

Stanley Cup, here we come!

 

[Rafters]

Todd seems to like pairs....also not sure if lander will be a centre in the 2nd half if Drai is called up...would love to see 3 strong scoring lines with an elite puck carrier on each


???-McD-Yak
Hall-Drai-????
???-RNH-EBS
Hendricks-Letestu-Klink
The ??? Could be any combo of Pou,Lander,Purcell,Slepy,Pak...
As the game goes on u can double shift and put together the top six of
Hall/RNH/Ebs
Drai/McD/yak

 

[Aerrol]

Pouliot - RNH - Purcell
Hall - McDavid - Slepy

Pressbox: Yakupov, Eberle
