Line Combos: What is the best possible line up for the Bs?

[Malt]

Just curious to see what posters think the best *possible* lineup would be for the Bruins right now. All players who are signed and healthy are in play, whether they're in Boston or Providence. I would consider players such as Spooner, Robins and Knight to be injured right now.

Lucic-Krejci-Loui
Marchand-Bergeron-Smith
Kelly-Yeti-Pastrnak
Paille-Spooner-Campbell/Griffith/Cunnigham/Knight

Chara-Hamilton
Morrow-Seids
Krug-McQuaid

Rask

Get a top-6 winger for the 3rd line at the deadline and move Kelly to 4th line C.

[Trap Jesus]

Miller's play has been one of the only positives this entire season. It shocks me to see people leaving him outside of the top 6. I'd lean towards giving him a shot in the top 4, although the handedness of the players makes that a bit more difficult.

I honestly can't make up my mind about him. Maybe tomorrow I'll say you're right.

 

[DitClapper]

Once Krejci is back, there is no question Loui should be on that top unit for the time being until a replacement comes.

What is the best possible line up for the Bs?


One that doesn't include Loui Eriksson

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

...

Who was Griffith's center in Providence in the playoffs last year? Anyone know?

 

[BruinDust]

Lucic - Krejci - Smith
Marchand - Bergeron - Eriksson
Kelly - Soderberg - Griffith
Paille - Campbell - Cunningham

Extra: Fraser

Waive Gagne once McQuaid is healthy, no fear of anyone putting a claim on him.

Lucic and Krejci need a shooter, not a playmaker, so put Smith there rather than Eriksson as Loui is the anti-shooter. Smitty hasn't been tried yet with Lucic/Krejci yet and could work nicely.

M/B/Erik becomes your shutdown line that can produce offense. Didn't get a chance to gel first time around due to concussions and Loui getting adjusted to the system.

Kelly, to me ,makes Soda+ whoever really tick. Griffith can make plays and Soda seems to gel well with most wingers.

Pie/Soupy/CC good energy line, a righty and lefty who can take face-offs.

In close one-goal leads late in games drop to 3 lines and move CC up to 3rd with Kelly/Soda to help protect the lead and drop Griff to 4th.

Chara - Seidenberg
Morrow - Hamilton
Krug - McQuaid/Miller

Full time extra: Bartowski

Times are getting tough in Bruinland, Bruins don't have the luxury of saving Chara/Seids for the playoffs anymore. Get them together for a shutdown pair. Proven successful tandem.

Hamilton to me is more assertive and confident as the "veteran" of the pair rather than the "apprentice" that he is when paired with Chara or Seids. Looked good paired with Morrow for a brief time. Don't like the Chara-Hamilton pairing at all.

Keep Krug as the full-time #5 and switch out McQuaid and Miller depending on the opponent. Big heavy teams use Quaider, smaller quicker teams like the Habs use Miller as he is the better skater.

I'm on board with this. I'd probably trade Kelly and have Spooner in there on the 4th line though.

So you want 3 third lines? NO THANK YOU. I never want Loui with Bergeron or Marchand again. EVER. Smith plays just fine with them. Don't fix what isn't broken, especially when Loui Eriksson is the tool to fix it. sigh.

Not sure how Lucic - Krejci - Smith would be considered 3rd line calibur, or Marchand - Bergeron - Eriksson for that matter. What we have now even when Krejci was healthy was three 3rd lines. This puts their 4 best offensive wingers on the top 2 lines.

The alternative is Loui with Krejci and Lucic so we can watch the 3 of them pass the puck back and forth to each other with all of them afraid to shoot it. They need a SHOOTER, of which Boston arguably has 2, Marchand and Smith, only one plays RW. You never know Smith might be the answer to the RW question mark on the top line.

 

[22Brad Park]

They need bout 2 years to fix this.Move them players anywhere you want.Garbage is still garbage at end of day.

[DarrenBanks56]

chara should be paired with siedes asap.

i think pasta should go to 1st line rw when krej comes back.
those should be two immediate moves
