So does anyone know anything about this other team? Any former or future nhlers? My prejudice is the flyers are going to run them out of the building

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Click on any name in the stats section and that player's career in numbers will appear magically.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

The opening game forwards seem fairly obvious:

Giroux-Couturier-TK
JVR-Hayes-Voracek
Lindblom-Laughton-Farabee
Twarynski-Bunnaman-Raffl

I suppose JVR & Lindblom could switch.

The D, likely:

Provorov-Niskanen
Ghost-Braun
Sanheim-???

I don’t know who will start in that last D spot. I’m sure this last preseason game will matter & I’m sure it will rotate early in the season.

 

[Magua]

Lausanne HC will be scouting Chris Stewart this game. They need 13th forwards too.

 

[Normand Lacombe]

I would present Hagg as a gift to Lusanne HC in the spirit of sportsmanship.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Maybe the great Roman Lyubimov is available.

 

[Appleyard]

So does anyone know anything about this other team? Any former or future nhlers? My prejudice is the flyers are going to run them out of the building

They are better than every AHL team.

They will line-up with

Dustin Jeffrey, Corey Emmerton, Cody Almond, Christoph Bertschy, Joel Vermin, Josh Jooris, Ronalds Kenins
Jonas Junland, Petterri Lindbohm
Tobias Stephan

As ex-NHLers... and then a guy like Genazzi who could easily have held own in NHL.

Don't have the top end that the other pre-season opponents had... but given some of the AHLers/prospects playing for other teams Lausanne will line up with more depth than quite a few pre-season NHL opponents.

 

[BernieParent]

I'll boldly predict that Stephan will have the game of his life.

 

[Starat327]

Lausanne HC will be scouting Chris Stewart this game. They need 13th forwards too.

Switzerland doesn't allow anything to be an alpha. It would upset their natural neutral stance.

 

[bennysflyers16]

So does anyone know anything about this other team? Any former or future nhlers? My prejudice is the flyers are going to run them out of the building

Don’t recognize many, but I am confident in stating Haag wouldn’t make their top 6

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I'm going to "enjoy" watching Hagg on European sized ice where he's going to have more difficulty with his "hits."

Yeah, I know that's where he came from.

 

[Magua]

Frost wouldn’t use an ostrich pillow.

 

[Juicy Pop]

The opening game forwards seem fairly obvious:

Giroux-Couturier-TK
JVR-Hayes-Voracek
Lindblom-Laughton-Farabee
Twarynski-Bunnaman-Raffl

Provorov-Niskanen
Ghost-Braun
Sanheim-???

I don’t know who will start in that last D spot. I’m sure this last preseason game will matter & I’m sure it will rotate early in the season.

I'm so excited to see what Laughts can do with that sort of wing talent.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

I'm so excited to see what Laughts can do with that sort of wing talent.

Pitlick too once he is healthy.

 

[Rebels57]

Pitlick too once he is healthy.

What about Pitlick?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'm so excited to see what Laughts can do with that sort of wing talent.

Looks like JVR will probably start with Laughton, & Lindblom will start with Hayes.

I can’t say I’m excited to see Laughton as 3C with anyone. But if they didn’t sign Hayes, Laughton would be 2C, so there’s that.

 

[Appleyard]

Pitlick too once he is healthy.

Tbf Pitlick cannot really play C!

But a Raffl-Laughton-Pitlick 4th line would be pretty good at some point.

If Pitlick is the #12-13 fwd the team is in nice shape up front.

 

[flyersfan187]

Looks like JVR will probably start with Laughton, & Lindblom will start with Hayes.

I can’t say I’m excited to see Laughton as 3C with anyone. But if they didn’t sign Hayes, Laughton would be 2C, so there’s that.

I'm not a big fan of JVR with Laughton, but then again I like Laughton better at wing. Lindblom/Hayes/Voracek would be a top notch two-way line though that I can get behind.

 

[Lindberg]

Frost wouldn’t use an ostrich pillow.

I'd use just about damn near anything if I could fall asleep on an airplane.

 

[Appleyard]

I'm not a big fan of JVR with Laughton, but then again I like Laughton better at wing. Lindblom/Hayes/Voracek would be a top notch two-way line though that I can get behind.

My dream I think is:

Giroux-Couturier-Konecny
Lindblom-Hayes-Voracek
JvR-Patrick-Farabee
Raffl-Laughton-Twarynski/Bunnaman/Pitlick/NAK

And give the 3rd line the easy minutes... not many teams can match-up with that.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'd use just about damn near anything if I could fall asleep on an airplane.

Lmao. That’s almost certainly a joke by Raffl.

 

[flyersfan187]

If Hart would stay on his game and the D would improve that forward lineup combined with the other two things would help this team make a good push.

 

[TCTC]

If Hart would stay on his game and the D would improve that forward lineup combined with the other two things would help this team make a good push.

I love that AV said there are no excuses to not make the playoffs. You would've never heard that from Hakstol or Hextall. All they did was making excuses.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'm not a big fan of JVR with Laughton, but then again I like Laughton better at wing. Lindblom/Hayes/Voracek would be a top notch two-way line though that I can get behind.

I can understand wanting Lindblom with Hayes & Jak for 2-way reasons, since they’ll be getting tougher matchups & more minutes. JVR also gives better hand-skill, size & goal scoring to Laughton & Farabee. So there might be more balance. Plus they will pick & choose those 3rd line deployments. But if Lindblom struggles offensively he’ll get dropped to line 3.

I don’t care much about line 4. They have enough to make it effective with a bunch of combinations in limited minutes.
