Who comes out when Kadri comes back?

[CarterD]

I just realised that Zach Hyman has 1 more goal in 3 less games. I think we need to stick him with new linemates - Moore nd Ennis would be my choice. Moore and Ennis, while small are god damn annoying and tough to play against which then might in turn inspire Kadri to play with the edge he needs.

Forgot to answer the damn question lok. Goat, or even better, Brown

 

[LeafalCrusader]

That goal had nothing to do with Goat. The fact that Babcock is trying to see what he has with Goat on the Pk tells me a lot

I'm clearly banging my head against the wall here with you, you've made up your mind so I'm giving up. At the end of the day it isn't up to us and odds are neither Goat or Brown are coming out with Babs. It will probably be Moore and Ennis rotating in and out.

 

[Lauro]

Brown is important for the PK, so it should be Marleau.

 

[sessiroth]

I'd love to see Marleau and brown get smaller roles going forward but I doubt it. I don't want to see brown on the 4th line because his game doesn't suit that high energy role. Brown best excels when playing with elite talent ala McDavid(junior) and Matthews. He lost that spot to johnsson/kapanen though.

 

[sessiroth]

If brown knew how to play center...... Problem solved right?

 

[Tit]

0% chance Marleau gets moved to the 4th line.
Babcock would never do that to a vet like him.

I thought the goat has been good lately.

IMO ennis sits. I know he got a hatty last night, but I think Moore has a better 200' game.

 

[MattySnipes]

If the goal is to ice the best team 5v5, and not favour shorthanded matchups then Brownie comes out. It's as clear as day.

11 - 91 - 16
18 - 34 - 24
42 - 29 - 63
12 - 43 - 33/19/28

or

11 - 91 - 16
18 - 34 - 29
42 - 43 - 24
12 - 33 - 63

 

[TheGroceryStick]

This will test Babs.
But think it'll be Moore.

 

[Jozay]

That would be a terrible move

Nothing left to learn down in the farm. Three seasons + 23 years old + championship. Time for Babs to sack up and tell one of his favorites to watch from the press box.

I agree, but babcock isnt gonna take brown out of the lineup

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Johnsson - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - - - Tavares - - - Marner
Marleau - - - Kadri - - - Kapanen
Moore - - - - Gauthier - - - Ennis

Rielly - - - Hainsey
Muzzin - - - Zaitsev
Gardiner - Dermott​

This is exactly what I'd hope for but we won't see it. Babs love of Brown is well established.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Should be Brown or Marleau but we all know Babcock...

Brown for sure.

Marleau isn't coming out unless he decides to.
And that's not on Babcock. Only a shit head coach would healthy him and ruin his iron man streak.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Brown is seriously where offence goes to die.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Should be Brown.

Doubt it will be though.

Wouldn't mind seeing a game of Ennis - Moore - Petan.
Or some combination of those 3. Maybe Petan in the middle and Moore on the wing.

 

[Zybalto]

I remember the good old days when 90% of the board was losing their minds that Hyman was making more money than Brown......

 

[hockeynorth]

Brown. It has to be Brown.

How can Babs with a straight face take out Moore or Ennis at this point.

Dream lines for me:

Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Moore-Kadri-Kapanen
Ennis-Marleau-Petan

My dream:
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Moore-Tavares-Marner
Hyman-Kadri-Kapanen
Ennis-Marleau-Petan

 

[hockeynorth]

Hymans earned it

 

[Leafsman]

Marleau needs to be load managed with Kadri back.

Very much agree!! Can't really healthy scratch Marleau but he can be put on the 4th line and given more limited minutes.

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Kadri-Matthews-Kappy
Moore-Nylander-Johnsson
Ennis-Marleau-Brown

 

[supermann_98]

Brown please. Surprised at the Gauthier comments. He’s been great on the 4C

“Great” may be stretching to but he has been very decent. I just wish he would throw his weight around a bit more and make some guys his bitch on the forecheck

 

[supermann_98]

Brown plays a key role on the PK which is why he'll stay in over those two (and I'm not saying it's necessarily a good reason)

I will say that it seems that Babs loves Moore's motor and "good pro"-ness .. So he might just be earning his way in ... I'd try him on the PK. He has the speed and tenacity for that role.

It’s not like our PK is first in the league or something. Brown is disposable for pretty much any other guy on the team on the PK

 

[supermann_98]

Brown doesnt even grind in the corners anymore. Dude is just overall useless. His foot speed has gone down considerably from years past too

I think we’re all hoping Dubas takes away another one of Babcock’s toys this summer (Brown)

 

[Nithoniniel]

Honestly, by merit it should be:
* Gauthier
* Brown
* Marleau
* Ennis

But it'll be Ennis.

 

[Cor]

It’ll be Ennis.

 

[ToneDog]

Knowing Babs' style, it will be Moore.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Babcock would still be playing Par given the chance

 

[X66]

Babcock ruined Brown by turning him into what he is.

Instead of nurturing his offensive game(which was above average) he was turned into a plugger.
