Line Combos: Poll 1 : HF Hawks Decides - Who Centers Kane?

[RememberTheRoar]

If it were up to me I'd do this, under the assumption that Strome re-signs before the end of TC:
Kubalik-Soderberg-Kane
DeBrincat-Strome-X
Y-Z-X
Kampf-Wallmark-Carpenter

X=Shaw/Janmark/Teply

Y=Hagel/Kurashev/Suter

Z=Kurashev/Suter

After looking up expected goal rates over the last few seasons, I wouldn’t feel terrible about putting Wallmark on one of the top two lines to start.

He seems very good at limiting chances against, and good at leading to chances for. I’m guessing he has a finishing problem/had linemates who couldn’t finish in the offensive zone.

He could be a decent offset for Kane, maybe?

But who knows for sure, we’re all just throwing shit at the wall. Nothing else we can do at this point.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Suter/Shaw - Soderberg - Kane
Cat - Strome - Kubalik

Is what I would start with.

Don’t mind that look either.

Give Kane the vet in Soder with Kubalik.

Pad some stats, and just make it out of 2021 healthy is the goal.

Kurashev has the skill Kane will put him in the ROY race.

Is Brad Richards busy?
