Line Combos: What do you think the line combos will be for the start of the 19/20 season?

[Jumptheshark]

Unless Holland changes his mind I do not think we will see a block buster trade but maybe a smaller pick up--so I think our line up is almost set (Yes I know this will annoy some of you)

what do you think the line up will look like in the fall to start with?

L1
Leon--McDavid-Granlund(to start at least)
L2
Nygard- Nuge-Chaisson
L3
Lucic (yes I know)-Haas-Kassian/Gagner
L4
Khaira-Brodz-Kassian/Gagner

D
Klefbom--Larsson
Nurse-Russell(to start with)
Bouchard (To Start with)-Benning
Persson

if Bouchard stumbles he goes down to the farm and either Jones or Bear comes up and they rotate with Persson

G
maalivahti, joka imee
Mike Smith

LD - McDavid - Kassian
Nygard - Nuge - Chiasson
Lucic - Granlund - Gagner
Khaira - Brodz/Haas - ? (who do I miss?)

Klef - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Jones - Benning

"The Glove"
"The Elder"

Makes me want to remove my tear glands.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I think we sign Maroon:

Maroon - McDavid - Draisaitl
Benson - Nuge - Chiasson
Khaira - Gagner - Kassian
Nygard - Haas - Granlund

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Jones - Benning

Koskinen
Smith

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

I think we sign Maroon

If it's short term and cheap, I'm ok with that.

 

[Aerchon]

Worst roster I've seen in a decade... ever? That's saying something.

Lucic McDavid Chaison
Nuge Draisaitl Kassian
Kharia Granlund Gagner
Nygard Brodziach Jurco
Haas

Klefbom Larsson
Nurse Benning
Russell Bear
Lagesson Jones

Koskinen
Smith

This putrid roster imo guarantees McDavid and Draisaitl HAVE to be split. Lucic HAS to be made useful. Tippet is going to HAVE to get creative and have patience for lines to gain chemistry.

In other words the season is a write off cause none of the above will happen.

 

[Aerchon]

If it's short term and cheap, I'm ok with that.

Well only have 2 million cap space because of the Smith Bonus. He isn't signing here for 2 million. If he does it will be for term.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Kenny & I have put a lot of thought & patience into this roster.....

Draisaitl-McDavid-plug

[CookiesAndMilk]

Thx for clarifying it. Why does he even want to come here? Didn't he leave because he wants to be with his family near St. Louis?

LD - McDavid - Kassian
Nygard - Nuge - Chiasson
Benson - Granlund - Gagner
Lucic- Haas - Khaira

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Jones - Benning

Koskinen

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Benning/Jones or Benning in the top 4 = Lottery pick.

 

[Ninety7]

Our team is so brutal. What a waste of mcdavid

[Faelko]

Draisaitl-McDavid-Kassian
Jurco -Nuge-Chiasson
Lucic-(new 3C)-Granlund
Gagner-Cave-Khaira
Haas
Nygaard

Brodziak gets cut at TC
Holland finds a 3C but not a 2W.
Jurco comes out flying and gets a spot in the top 6.

Klefbom-Larsson
Nurse-Russell
Jones-Benning
Persson

I think the Jones-Benning pairing gets exposed and there’s a revolving door all year on the bottom pair.

Smith
Koskinen

Smith easily steals the starting job by game 10.

As expected, bottom 10 finish....

 

[Draiskull]

I think Lucic/Neal/Eriksson swap will happen after we pony up a sweetner. We also add a 3C via trade or waivers
Jurco, Haas, Benson, Nygaard and Marody fight for 12/13/14 spot

Draisaitl-McDavid-Kassian
Neal -RNH-Granlund

Dear God no.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Dear God no.

Holland said 2 d players from our farm are coming up. Specifically mentioned Persson. Better get used to it

Putting Persson w/ our best dman and fellow Swede Klef makes the most sense

Oh I'm already used to idiotic decisions by Oilers management. Having one rookie in the lineup is one thing, but two? That's tanking talk.

Hes kinda a rook. Hes still a pro player.

Lots of Europeans have come over and straight to the NHL

Yes and how many of those have played Top 4 D right out of the gate on a team as unstructured as this one? It's a recipe for disaster.

Hopefully we can upgrade 3C and send Currie to Bako

 

[Joey Moss]

I don't think there's any way Benson and Marody don't make the team if this is what we go to camp with.
