Line Combos: Roster 2019-2020

[Rosso Scuderia]

It's just a number dude. chill

Tell that to Bergevin.

He's an arrogant control freak.

 

[26Mats]

Too bad Bergy made Fleury change is number to 20.. According to Fleury, Bergy doesn't like high numbers.. That's just so stupid...

It’s a ****ing joke, i made a post a while ago about being convinced bergevin was making kid change their high number because he didn’t like them. I was laughed out and called delusional by a couple of poster. There has been a couple of example like that in the past 8 years... Suzuki wearing 88 ( my favorite hockey number) would have been insane. 14 is just boring, 25 is boring, 15 is boring... such a stupid ass old mentality that needs to go ASAP. It’s somehow realy getting at me.

Well he made an exception for Drouin lol

But this isn't all that rare...

Lou Lamoriello I believe that he doesn't allow numbers higher then 40.

Jacques Martin used to be the same way when he coached in Ottawa

My high school coach, who's now an assistant in the NHL (Jamie Kompon) was the same. He said high numbers are a way of distancing yourself from the team. At least he gave his rationale. He also made a buddy of mine, the class clown, change his first choice of 69...

69 is a nice number. Too bad it is always related to sex.

Switch it around, 96!!

[Canadienna]

I'd like to see

Domi - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - KK - Armia
Tatar - Suzuki - Weal

Give KK 16minutes+ a night including PP and PK.

Put Suzuki back at C against lesser competition to get some confidence back and get the puck on his stick.

Domi and Gally combo with a speedy Danault at C would work well imo.

Edit: Lehkonen can play that 3RW spot if he fits better than Weal.

[CauZuki]

Besides discussion around our glaring issues at LD and talent up front, I am starting to like the idea of this lineup (staying within the realm of a viable Claude Julien lineup):

Drouin - Domi - Armia
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Lekhonen - KK - Suzuki
Byron - Thompson - Cousins

Mete - Weber
Kulak/Reilly- Petry
Chiarot - Fleury
Reilly/Kulak

Thoughts?

Lekhonen - KK - Suzuki

Mete - Weber
Kulak/Reilly- Petry
Chiarot - Fleury
Reilly/Kulak

Thoughts?

This is pretty much the lineup I want to see. I would now try Suzuki at center. But I want to see the KK-Suzuki duo.
I also like Kulak on the 2nd pair and Chiarot on the 3rd pair. Weal has had his problems with the puck. But he could force his way back in at the expense of Lehkonen or Byron. Reilly has the potential but I don't think he has the head on his shoulders. Decision making is key in this fast NHL.


Drouin - Domi - Armia
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Kotkaniemi - Suzuki - Lekhonen/Weal
Cousins - Thompson - Byron/Weal

Mete - Weber
Kulak/Reilly - Petry
Chiarot - Fleury
Reilly/Kulak

 

[Habs Halifax]

The 21/22 roster is the critical one if you ask me... This is the point in time where we get to see the new cap space and how the youth looks in terms of us being a contender. Weber is gone to Seattle cause we gave them a pick to take him. Tatar is traded at the 21 deadline and Byron is traded this season. Gallagher, Petry, Danault re-signed.

Drouin / Kotkaniemi / Caufield
Domi / Poehling / Suzuki
Lehkonen / Danault / Gallagher
Teasdale / Evans / Armia
Ylonen, Hillis, Pitlick, Etc

Norlinder / Petry
Romanov / Fleury
Mete / Juulsen or Brook
Harris, Struble, etc

Price
Primeau

[26Mats]

Let's give KK some really good wingers - and Domi some good offensive players to play with

Tatar Danault Gallagher
Poehling Suzuki Domi
Drouin Kotkaniemi Armia
Cousins/Byron Thompson Lehkonen

You can switch up the left wingers:
Drouin Danault Gallagher
Tatar Suzuki Domi
Poehling Kotkaniemi Armia
Cousins/Byron Thompson Lehkonen

 

[TT1]

I'd like to see us try:

Drouin Danault Gally
Tatar Domi Suzuki (really wanna see this line)
Lehkonen KK Armia (just to have KK regain confidence, they complement each other too)
Byron Thompson Weal (or Cousins at LW, Byron at RW)

Drouin was good with Danault and Gallagher last year, but I'm not seeing much this year. I'd go back to Drouin-KK-Armia.

Byron Danault Gally
Tatar Domi Suzuki (really wanna see this line)
Drouin KK Armia (just to have KK regain confidence, they complement each other too)
Cousins Thompson Lehkonen

I would try. :

Domi	Danault	Gallagher
Tatar	Suzuki	Weal
Lehkonen	Kotkaniemi	Armia
Cousins	Thompson	Hudon

[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Domi will maybe better if hes playing with gallagher and Danault. Tatar and weal were great together. Finnish line and fourthliner at bottom

Not so sure they try Suzuki with Tatar again for a bit after that last OT

Switch KK and Suzuki and you'll have better balance on every line.

 

[otto bond]

I'm tired of seeing guys like Weal in the top 9 or Cousins along with Weal on the PP. Looking at the rocket this afternoon, nothing there yells top notch player.

I'm giving Brook and Poehling time. I'll start worrying about them in camp in two years (2021). Until then, they can hopefully learn a lot in Laval.

Also hoping Leskinen will be steong enough and think the game quick enough for the NHL. He could be the Reilly/Kulak replacement.
