What's Your Postseason Lineup

[Ararana]

With the massive dissapointment of today's deadline, how would you build the lineup for the playoffs?

I f***ing hate Rantanen at center but they have no choice now.

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Nuke
Landeskog - Rantanen - eRod
Newhook - Compher - Eller
Cogliano - Helm - LOC

Byram - Makar
Toews - Manson
Girard - JJ

If everyone is magically healthy all playoffs the roster is solid. That's pure fantasy though and as soon as any injuries hit the depth goes down the drain immediately.

 

[Shinjuku Calling]

Kinda dont care anymore after today tbh lol

 

[Grackle Party]

Compher is 2c that’s the way it is now

Who cares. This team doesn’t give a shit about making another run. It’s gonna be an injured roster in the playoffs with no depth

 

[95snipes]

Eller isn't going to play wing. In hindsight, the writing should have been on the wall that JTC was going to be the 2C when they acquired Eller and paid the price they did. I don't like it, but nothing I can do about it then hope it all works out.

Assuming health, but included main reserve guys:

LW	C	RW
Landeskog	MacKinnon	Nichushkin
Lehkonen	Compher	Rantanen
Newhook/Nieto	Eller	Rodrigues
Cogliano	Helm/Malgin	O'Connor

LD	RD
Toews	Makar
Byram	Manson
Girard	Johnson/Johnson/Hunt

There he is!

But seriously, the boys are probably as disappointed about the deadline as we are and give up on the season and we miss the playoffs.

Do we miss the playoffs enough to get Bedard?

 

[nammerus]

Do we miss the playoffs enough to get Bedard?

That's basically the only way this season can be saved.

Oh, Im just getting started. Right now I’m posting while working, wait until I get home…

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I guess…

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Compher - Rantanen
Nieto - Eller - Rodrigues
Helm - Cogliano - O’Connor
Newhook/Malgin

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - E.Johnson
J.Johnson/MacDermid

Georgiev
Francouz
Kinkaid

 

[Puckstop40]

The west is pretty weak so we can still make a run with our defense and top end talent. I don’t think we have the offensive depth to beat out some of those eastern conference teams though.

 

[the_fan]

If everyone is healthy, I wouldn’t worry too much, but the problem is, this team isn’t gonna be healthy all year including playoffs, and they didn’t pick up much to have depth

 

[Sea Eagles]

Man, this is a tough one, because we have so much talent. But here's my shot:..

Landeskog - Mackinnon - E-Rod
Lehkonen - Rantanen - Nuke
Newhook - Eller - Compher
Cogliano - Helm - O'Connor

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - EJ

Georgiev
Francouz

Depth: Nieto, Malgin, MacDermid, J Johnson, Hunt

Now I DARE anyone to tell me that isn't a world beating team !

 

[Alex Jones]

I guess…

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Compher - Rantanen
Nieto - Eller - Rodrigues
Helm - Cogliano - O’Connor
Newhook/Malgin

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - E.Johnson
J.Johnson/MacDermid

Georgiev
Francouz
Kinkaid

That third line is going to get caved in, especially if ERod is cold. I would staple him to Mackinnon's wing. Nate's just gonna have to carry ERods ugly ass to victory. That lets us put someone like Nuke on the third line where he can dominate.

 

[Avs_19]

I guess…

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Lehkonen - Compher - Rantanen
Nieto - Eller - Rodrigues
Helm - Cogliano - O’Connor
Newhook/Malgin

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - E.Johnson
J.Johnson/MacDermid

Georgiev
Francouz
Kinkaid

Similar but Newhook at 3rd line LW and Nieto at 4th line LW.

Cogs better work on those faceoff skills because he might be the best (only) option for 4C. I don't think Helm's coming back.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Wont matter. Whatever you guys project it wont happen. This team cant stay healthy. Compher is 2C for worse or worse now.

 

[Metallo]

Dermy at 1C, the rest will fall in place naturally from there.

 

[the_fan]

Out trade deadline wishes should be getting everyone healthy. I know it sucked not doing much, but when looking at this current line up, it doesn’t look bad if they can stay healthy, if they get EJ and Landeskog back etc… it’s a big if though

 

[Belgican]

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Nichushkin
Landeskog - Compher - Rantanen
Nieto - Newhook - Rodrigues
Cogliano - Eller - O’Connor
Helm / Malgin

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - E.Johnson
J.Johnson / MacDermid

Georgiev
Francouz
Kinkaid

 

[the_fan]

JTC is scoring at 60 point pace this year. That’s a decent 2C production, but again, if he can keep it up and do the same in the playoffs. There are just more “IFs” this year compared to last year
