Leddy-Boychuk
Hickey-Visnovsky

I guess Reinhart is going to go down or switch him with Hickey if he stays up.

 

[SI90]

Leddy-Boychuk
deHaan-Hammer
Reinhart-Hickey

Viz

 

[Renbarg]

When healthy

Cdh - hamonic
Leddy - boychuck
Viz - hickey

Carkner/donovan extras

Carkner is unmovable and it would be silly to lose donovan for free. Therefore reinhart should go down.

 

[TeamKidd]

looks like reinhart is destined for AHL time. i guess they didnt think he was quite ready.

given the injuries im sure he'll be here soon. Id like to see him go down and work on his offense and pulock on his defense. let them prove it in the AHL, then lets talk about hickey and visnovsky sitting

Hamonic- DeHaan
Leddy - Boychuck
Vis - Hickey

Seems likely.

Hammer should be able to play less minutes which should make him more effective. And Vis won't be relied on as much which could help keep him healthier and fresher as the season wears on.

 

[islesfan3913]

de Haan-Hamonic
Leddy-Boychuk
Hickey-Vis

This is exactly what I wanted to happen. Now Hickey can stay on the bottom pairing where he belongs and we can limit Visnovsky's minutes.

 

[TeamKidd]

When healthy

Cdh - hamonic
Leddy - boychuck
Viz - hickey

Carkner/donovan extras

what happened to strait? rather him then those two boneheads

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

deHaan-Hamonic

When healthy of course. Oh man, does that look good

Wow, congrats Isles fans. You guys have an one heck of an offseason. Can someone list the projected forward line combos as well?

Griff Ian't ready but he will be soon, so he will go to the Bridge.

Imo, this means Donovan is done like dinner.

 

[Space Herpe]

We almost have a
1st pairing
a
1a pairing or a 2nd pairing.

I guess Strait and Carkner are the injury fill ins? (i forgot that in my OP)

What I would do (not necessarily what Cappy is doing):

Nelson-Tavares-Okposo
Kulemin-Grabovski-Strome
Conacher-Nielsen-Grabner
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

Looks like the Isles brass would rather groom Reinhart-Pulock together in Bridgeport under Thompson. Very happy about this.

 

[SI90]

Does Leddy play on the PP for CHI? he was on their 2nd unit?

 

[ledzep1212]

Opening night I think it will be:

Hamonic-Boychuk
Hickey-Leddy
Reinhart/Pulock-Vis

when healthy it will be:
Hamonic-de Haan
Boychuk-Leddy
Hickey-Vis

 

[MarkGio]

Hey guys, congrats on making a splash today. I got 2 questions:

1) Does the Isles have any remaining needs?

2) What 2015 picks to the isles have left?

 

[Space Herpe]

Does Leddy play on the PP for CHI? he was on their 2nd unit?

Not sure. But from what I've read and remember, he a CdH type of player.

Smallish.
Not afraid to hit.
Great vision.
Great first pass.
Will skate the puck up the ice and not afraid to lead the rush.


Soooo...based on that, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets PP time.

 

[Bexlyspeed]

I'd like reinhart up playing with or at least watching these cup winning D men play!

 

[seabass45]

Reinhart might stay up. I'm not convinced that Vis will be ready on opening night.

 

[SI90]

What about a Reinhart-Boychuk Pairing?

 

[19NYSports91]

Opening night I think it will be:

Hamonic-Boychuk
Hickey-Leddy
Reinhart/Pulock-Vis

when healthy it will be:
Hamonic-de Haan
Boychuk-Leddy
Hickey-Vis

No chance. Boychuk and Hamonic both play the right side and both right handed shots.

 

[IslesRock4]

Opening night I think it will be:

Hamonic-Boychuk
Hickey-Leddy
Reinhart/Pulock-Vis

when healthy it will be:
Hamonic-de Haan
Boychuk-Leddy
Hickey-Vis

Top two pairings, no chance. Hamonic and Boychuk are both righties. Hickey and Leddy would get run over paired together.

If de Haan isn't ready for the start of the season, I could see:

Leddy-Hamonic
Hickey-Boychuk
Strait/Czuczman-Visnovsky

Agreed with the pairings when everyone is healthy, though. So solid.

 

[Mr Forever]

This is a really improved team. I think you guys are pretty much a sure bet to make the playoffs now. I don't know much about Pokka, but these two moves definitely make the team a lot stronger.

 

[19NYSports91]

What about a Reinhart-Boychuk Pairing?

I think this might happen towards the end of the season, who knows.
