Line Combos: What is Your New Dream Scenario Post TDL?

[ThinIce61]

I guess come play-off time our likely Black Aces if everyone is healthy would be:

Perfetti
Gus
Kupari
Toninato
AJF

Stanley
Schmidt or Miller
Heinola
Capo

Delia (yuck)

Outside shot of McGroarty . Don't know there's anyone else you have a face puncher type like Ford or Viel just in case.

Face puncher Ford? 5'9", 181 lb Parker Ford?

Face puncher Ford? 5'9", 181 lb Parker Ford?

I thought he was kind of physical, not Viel physical. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Don't know that the Moose have too many forwards with some jam.

He's built ford tough

Viel certainly qualifies and then there is Bauer. Not a F but definitely a face puncher.

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Monahan-Toffoli
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Namestnikov-Iafallo
Perfetti, Kupari

Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Schmidt-Miller
Samberg

Hellebuyck
Brossoit

All the bases are loaded when healthy.

What we would need is a matter-energy transporter and have a few Cmdr Riker, Lt. Riker accidents.

To start off, I'm in agreement with your OP @Jet

What's exciting is how much room we now have to tinker around

I hope we try a few different combinations so that other permutations have chemistry should the line blender need to occur during a game or should we need to cover for injuries.

I also think playoffs will be a performance "enhancing" factor for some...I feel like iafallo is going to be big come playoff time, as will tofolli

^ just to add Al has everything except finish right now

If he finds the back of the net again like he was earlier this year/last year, look out

 

[hn777]

Ehlers-Scheifele-Vilardi
Connor-Monahan-Toffoli
Perfetti-Names-Barron
N-L-A

Or

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Barron-Monahan-Toffoli
Perfetti-Names-Vilardi
N-L-A
Gus, Iafallo, Kupari

Assuming 50 mins of 5v5 per game, play the topline 16 mins, and the other lines 12, 11, 11 mins.
Barron deserves more icetime.
I don't think Iafallo brings enough offensively to play over Barron, Perfetti etc.

Or (under the assumption Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi must play together):

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Perfetti-Names-Ehlers
Barron-Monahan-Toffoli
NLA

Roll four lines (12.5 mins icetime at 5v5 for each).
I am not convinced Monahan and Ehlers have chemistry. I think Perfetti-Names-Ehlers was a great 2-way line.

Morrissey - DeMelo
Dillon - Pionk/Miller
Samberg - Schmidt/Miller/Heinola

 

[lanky]

Ehlers Scheifele Toffoli
Connor Monahan Vilardi
Niedereiter Lowry Appleton
Barron Perfetti Namestnikov

 

[Keystone]

Connor. Schiefele Vilardi
Ehlers. Monohan Toffoli
Neids Lowry Barron
Iaffolo Names AJF/ Apples

Morrissey. Demelo
Dillion Miller
Samberg Schmidt

A message sent to Pionk wouldn’t hurt. He plays best when physical and maybe pissing him off for a couple games would help.
I would like to see Axel back in for a game or 2 just to get some forecheck going.
I would also like to see LB start 2 of next 3 just to give Helle a bit of a rest.

 

[Jack7222]

Just for fun:

Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi
Nino - Monahan - Toffoli
Barron - Lowry - Appleton/Iafallo
Connor - Perfetti - Namestnikov

Or

Barron - Lowry - Appleton
Connor - Namestnikov - Iafallo

 

[Maukkis]

Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi
Connor - Monahan - Perfetti
Nino - Namestnikov - Toffoli
Barron - Lowry - Appleton

For injury replacements, move Nino and Toffoli up for wingers.

Kupari needs to be out of the lineup. You see brief flashes of "hey...maybe this guy..." and before you finish the thought he's back to doing less than f***-all.

I don’t disagree but to be fair to Kupari (who did have flashes of good play last night) everyone brought their F game - no one looked particularly good
