Confirmed with Link: Wings name 23-Man Roster

[norrisnick]

Adam Erne is the only guy who has:
A) played 1-1-3 system for Tampa Bay at 2018-19 season
B) been coached by Lalonde with that new system Wings are pushing in

Jakub Vrana is another guy who has:
A) played 1-1-3 system under Barry Trotz at Capitals

Something to be noted about.

So what you're saying is... kick out the weirdos so everyone is on the same starting point? Agreed.

 

[Gniwder]

I like that Robert Hagg is becoming a polarizing roster player. Especially with Edvinsson knocking on the door. Guessing Hagg becomes a hot point of discussion in the coming weeks

For sure, he'll be under the microscope especially if Ed puts up some points in GR, That whole left side is gonna get some criticism though from Ed fans, none of them are all that good with the puck.

The only thing I can say there is Hagg > Oesterle.

Let's keep in mind Hagg played for a couple of crappy teams, so I'm willing to give him a chance.

More of that they could benefit most, because it's already familiar system.

Don't know are the Chicago boys a fit (Kubalik & Suter) or how Perron and Copp will fit. But our Wings guys are a bit lost after the days of misery and Blash-tank-hockey.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

Give me Hagg over Oesterle all day. at least he can hit/block pucks and clear the crease. Oesterle is soft and provides very little offence.

realistically neither of these guys are on a good teams roster.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

That 4th line seems more like the 3rd line.

What forecheck did we run under Blashil? Games were so messy it was hard to tell at times. I think it may have been a 1-2-2

 

[Pavels Dog]

Yzerman has been fairly reluctant to give term.
The 3 year deal really surprised me.
There are only 2 players (non entry level) who currently have a longer commitment from the franchise.

Part of giving him 3 years is allowing for some development time. That means the contract isn't judged on day 1 of the season or that we need to force him into the lineup. Challenge him to be better. Year 2 and 3 are where we hope that contract gives us some good value.

 

[Hugh Mongusbig]

That's OK because the 3rd line seems more like a 4th line, so it's a wash.

did blashill run a system?

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

It's really a 1-1-4 if you count the goalie. Like a reverse forecheck. Most of your players are already in the defensive zone, which really saves on energy.

What were his comments?

Wrong side of the puck.
Poor puck management. Specifically called out for turning a 2-on-1 into a scoring chance or goal against.

So on a line with Bert-Larkin-Raymond, who's the front forechecker?
Or is it just sort of random?

have a link? been trying to listen to every presser but may have missed that one

I will not stand for this erasure! (Seriously though, it was a pretty goal).

 

[Gniwder]

That's also the same game where he passed the puck to an opponent and gave them an easy goal.

The other goal he scored last season was when Zadina did an outside move and went behind the net for the first time in his life, setting up Oesterle with a sweet pass.

Both are anomalies, which I never expect to see again. Especially Zadina, if a move works he'll quit using it.

 

[MBH]

Today Suter's the extra and Veleno is in.

Feels like we have 2 2nd lines and 2 4th lines.

Flip Kubalik and Sundqvist and it's not that bad... I don't get it.

I didn't say it was bad.
But overall, it's still not great.
Beats last year when we had a 2nd line and 3 fourth lines.

Until guys like Ras, Veleno, Zadina and Soderblom show they are more than marginal players, that's kind of how this team stacks.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Today Suter's the extra and Veleno is in.

Feels like we have 2 2nd lines and 2 4th lines.

Beats having a 2nd line, two 4th lines and an AHL line.

 

[Henkka]

Let them try and experiment. Maybe they find out that those lines are stupid.. and will make the change back which was better.

I could not care less about these practise lines. Let's see what they finally ice on against Montreal, and does it last?

Lalonde already talked how they could build different kind of line combinations depending of opposite teams they face on. Just what smart coaches will do.

 

[Henkka]

So on a line with Bert-Larkin-Raymond, who's the front forechecker?
Or is it just sort of random?

Could think Larkin will play the "3rd defender", kind of a "selke" guy. He has so strong skating, that he can re join the offense from far behind, come from the second wave. Bertuzzi could be another option, Killorn was kind of same for Tampa. Raymond will play highest forechecker most definitely.

At Vrana - Copp - Perron, Copp is definitely the 3rd defender. Maybe Vrana is the forechecker, and really maybe the biggest break-away killer in this system. Can't wait.

Tough to know about those 3rd-4th lines how they are constructed, until we know the final combinations. Think Kubalik will fit on the "high guy forecheking" -role, no matter what the line.

Right. Which is where we were last year.
