At least we never really got used to being more than a one line team.

Take any teams 2nd and 3rd best forwards away and their offense is going to look atrocious too. Let's see if Jost can step up.
I like the idea of Kadri with Mack. He would play the Landy role like others have said. Essentially being the center on the line while Mack can dominate on the rush.

I like this. Stylistically, Kadri and Donskoi are probably the closest we have to Landy and Rantanen. Mack will have to go into beast mode though to make up for that loss in talent level.
Burakovsky-Jost-Compher, I don't hate it. Jost and Compher obviously have some chemistry.
Our 4th line is now our 3rd line. Basically an "elite" 4th line is now a below average 3rd line.
The new 4th line; good prove it time for Kamenev. Please don't call up Dries...

aaaaand we're back to a one line team. Really don't understand why they didn't keep Kadri on the second line with Donskoi and move Burakovki up and go duos. That second line looks awful.
Hoping for a Kaut callup, expecting Megna.
Probably too early for NJ to make a decision but now would be a damn good time to go get Hall. Landeskog's injury sounds like it's going to be a while.

If we could just clone Nate like I cloned my Feraligator in the original Pokémon gold...

Not Great, Bob!
That lineup looks really familiar..
Top line, a third line, and two 4th lines.
I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse? That type of team made it into the playoffs (barely) with worse goaltending, but with Mikko instead of Don.

He's a Swede, you're probably secretly happy inside, aren't you?

There are a few keys to surviving this stretch in my mind:
The new second line: Can they be a legit threat every game.
Grubauer: His play can not afford to drop off with the injuries mounting.
Makar: The Avs now need the Makar that played against the Ducks. The player that breaks down defences with speed and IQ and creates offence for his teammates.
MacK: Can he elevate his play even more? MacK is probably going to have to put the team on his back for some of these upcoming games.

Or... we count on a player from the AHL who hasn't scored a point to lead us to the promised land.

Hey, didn't Kirk do like nothing in the AHL?
It really does not end well when MacK thinks like that. Probably why Bedsy is loading up his line. MacK respects Kadri and will work with him. I don't think there is another forward on this team MacK wouldn't stop passing to after a shift or two.

The good news if if Kadri works out on the wing we can finally just get that Crosby trade out of the way.

He didn't hit the scoresheet in his 10 AHL games during that season he got traded. So it should work just fine for Kaut.

The Swedes finally got what's coming to them.He's a Swede, you're probably secretly happy inside, aren't you?
This is probably one of the most key points to make. We basically just lost our #1 center... yeah this is going to be rough.

Yeah maybe Kaut is just the opposite of Jost?
Hopefully? Yeah, cause Landy is known to play like shit on a normal basis... I'll bet it's the soul reason why.
