“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
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.
