I love how Burrows comes over here and all of a sudden he's a legit second liner.
Not saying Ryan is much better on the 2nd line, but when did Alex revert to 2010 form?

Who is saying that?
Looks like they're just giving him a shot. Hard to say that makes him a "Legit second liner"
Bruh. He hasn't even played a game yet......

Was he playing top-6 on a mediocre Canucks team?
There's a good number of people slotting him on the top-6 in place of Bobby Ryan, even once he's back.
So yeah, people are saying that.

Smith Turris Ryan (60*)
Hoffman Brassard Burrows (55*)
Dzingel Pageau Stone (50*)
Pyatt White Stalberg (20*)
3 even scoring lines and a checking line come playoff time.
Notes:
* Total estimated regular season goals
- Each of the top 3 lines would be stacked with a 20 goal scorer, and a defensive conscience
- Hoffman Brassard Burrows, the QMJHL line (Hoffman and Burrows already mesh well)
- Smith and Turris together can help each other take strong side faceoffs
- Pageau and Stone have the proven ability to go point a game together
- White can't possibly be a worse 4th line skater than Kelly, right?
Flip Stone and Ryan and you have something. Stone's skills are top 6 easy.
Stone is like Alfredsson was. Whatever line he's on is our first line.
Those three lines were written in order of the expected goal output by seasons end, not in terms of actual 1st to 3rd lines. I like putting Stone where he is, and by all means his line in my mockup could eat up the most ice time.
It will be interesting to see how this team lines up & who sits out once Ryan returns.
Hoffman - Turris - Burrows
Dzingel - Brassard - Ryan
Stalberg - Smith - Stone
Pyatt - Pageau - Wingels
- Kelly/Neil
Methot - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Ceci
Boroweicki - Wideman/Claesson
Anderson - Condon
I think Burrows will need to be with brassard. Unless brassard has caught fire now and can play with anyone.
What's the deal with the injuries?
Any updates for stone, Ryan, Turris?
Is it fingers for all of them?
