What would your ideal lineup look like? I'd go:

Hyman - - Matthews - -Marner
Nylander - Tavares - Micheyev
Johnsson - -Kerfoot - Kapanen
Clifford - - - Spezza - - Engvall
Gauthier, Malgin

Rielly - Dermott
Muzzin - - - Holl
Sandin - Barrie
Ceci

Andersen
Campbell

Johnsson won't be anywhere close.

 

[Battle Lin]

i know he was announced out for season but if season drags out 2-3 months longer than usual, can johnsson be back?

 

[leafan11]

I would think Robertson would get a strong look too.

 

[Golden_Jet]

I’d flip Spezza and Kerfoot

 

[egd27]

I would think Robertson would get a strong look too.

I would think he would be ineligible.

 

[The Podium]

Nylander - Matthews - Hyman
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Clifford - Spezza - Malgin

Rielly - Barrie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Dermott

Andersen
Campbell

I would think he would be ineligible.

I’m pretty sure you can call up junior players, wasn’t Subban an OHL call up mid playoffs when he broke into the league.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Keefe was going back to the duos of Matthews-Nylander and Tavares-Marner before **** hit the fan no?

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Clifford - Gauthier - Spezza
Malgin

Rielly - Ceci
Muzzin - Holl
Dermott - Barrie
Sandin


Andersen
Campbell

This is what I think the lineup will look like. I don't think Keefe will bench Ceci since he just got back and he played him for 21 minutes against Tampa and he had him with Rielly.

 

[LeafChief]

I would think he would be ineligible.

He's eligible.

 

[Nineteen67]

I would pay the core and tell them they’re not playing in any gimmicky tournament without fans and would play as many Marlies as possible if the NHL tries this nonsense.

Marlies will all have to be on the team anyway, and in the hotel as well, for injury call ups.

 

[Knies iT]

Nylander - Matthews - Hyman
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Clifford - Spezza - Malgin

Rielly - Barrie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Dermott

Seeing Malgin slotted in the bottom six come playoff time would make me cringe.

Only change I would make to your line-up would be to swap Malgin with Korshkov on the 4th line RW; having a big, cycling 4th line like that would be a useful tool for Keefe - something he had during his Calder Cup win (Greening - Gauthier - Engvall). Otherwise, when healthy, that's a contending lineup.

Hurts not having Johnsson in the lineup, completely forgot about Korshkov though

 

[Legion34]

I would like to see refs when Boston is in the playoffs and they are not scared of the fans

That’s all I’d play. Not that COVID is a concern, I just wouldn’t risk injury in an meaningless exhibition series for any top player.

If the NHL forces them to play the stars, I’d encourage my player to get out as soon as possible.

You already knew the lineup sire. I'm thumbin it hard down here sire. Those two first lines will kill other teams like the corona virus mayne. They ain't have even chance there sire. Mayne we bout our money and our game soon. Also uh, that dirty third line has speed also and some game. They finna score some too. Our PP with barrie will be one of the league's best and scoring-a-lot again. Our team will bank 4-6 goals per game no matter what. So it'll be only bout that not allowing those goals for us mayne. If we keep it under 3 goals per game, we bout our cup too mayne. So look on that there sire and keep y'alls heads up.

I'm not sure why it's saying 503 Service Unvailable... it's an article on Sportsnet, from Feb.

Head coach Sheldon Keefe announced Friday the 25-year-old winger requires surgery on his right knee and will be out of the lineup at least eight weeks. That was announced Feb 14th. Eight weeks was April 10th.


I'm not saying he'll be back in the lineup, or not, but we are past 10 weeks now, and no chance of play/practice for another 9-10 weeks... so an injury that was said eight weeks minimum, you'd think would be good to go at 20 weeks.... plus, it would be good to show he isn't affected by the injury, if he can play well... in case we need to trade him.

[ottomaddox]

Way too many Malgins in this thread.

Not enough Petans!!!

 

[The Iceman]

Dermott top pairing on his weak side...no thanks

 

[Its not your fault]

That's no much a looser additude I couldn't do it.

 

[Nineteen67]

I don’t think you need your players playing in July, if the next season is going to start back in October. Mitch Marner, for example is better off working out and strengthening his upper body than he is playing in a exhibition tournament.
I’d rather see Chara and Bergeron putting next season at risk than Marner and Matthews.
I know the players need the revenue and they’ll participate but if you’re in the window to win next year, why risk it?

 

[JT AM da real deal]
