Conversely, our top 6 is likely to drive the opposition nuts given any opposition on any given night's going to need at least 2 lines. It reminds me of when the Sedins would be focused on during the playoffs, lowering their production but, in turn, opening up the Kesler line to score goals.

Their production is similar to a lower tier 2nd line (each on pace for about 40 points). Then we have a 4th line with both wingers in double digit goals (on pace for 15 to 20 goals each). Pretty ridiculous offensive depth on this team. Each line has 1 or 2 guys that are pacing for at least 15 to 20 goals each. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it speaks for itself just looking at this forum and the topics people create. It's pretty clear no one has anyone to really yell at. And sure, there's Mikeyev who could score more, but he's doing it all defensively anyway. If that's the only "punching bag" we have... that speaks volumes for the team as a whole and just how dangerous we are right now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking back on that. Im not sure how the lines were in Calgary. One of the talking point in the Flamestalk podcast was that Lindholm & Huberdeau really didn't have good chemistry so that's probably the reason why both guys had down years. Maybe it's also the same with his WAR rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put, Lindholm gives Toc a lot of configurations on how to match up with teams. When we are in the playoffs, its not far fetched that we could see Petey in the middle and lindholm playing the wing in a 1st round matchup with a team like for example, the Predators, but then have lindholm play centre in the 2nd round if we were to play a high flying team like the Oilers. The acquisition of Lindholm may not be as flashy as Guentzel but Linds covers up a lot of little leaks this team has with his all purpose skillset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_Hawk Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 21 hours ago, HKSR said: As Dom said, Juulsen has been amazing. I just think it'd be REALLY good to have 8 capable NHL defenders because the playoffs is such a war. We're almost guaranteed to lose 1 or 2 defenders to injury as most teams do. If Juulsen is our #8, we are in incredible shape. I also like the fact we have a logjam of centres too. We are forgetting about Friedman though. He looked solid early in the season playing 3rd pair. He is more that capable for the 7/8th role. Then, we have guys like Irwin, Bris (if available) and Wolanin. With the emergence of Juulsen, I really don’t think we need anybody else.

Fair enough but the results are a good foundation point for making line-up decisions in the playoffs - i.e. when playing better teams repeatedly and a true shut down line is more important because it is harder to score goals.

I think, although Juulsen and Freidman are capable NHLers, one more addition would be absolutely welcome. A pure rental for depth purposes like Edmundson, Scandella or Schultz could really help in case of injuries. Having more than enough size already with Zadorov, Myers, Soucy, Cole and Juulsen, I'd probably lean towards adding Schultz as he's proven in the past that he can step in and add an offensive element to the defense if need be. On top of that, his chemistry with Soucy would be an added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland does not fit in our top 6. He drives the 3rd line, precisely because he needs/has the puck. Same goes for guys like Miller and Petey. You can't have 2 guys on a line that both need the puck to be successful. IMO, as good as that line's been, and as good as Garland is, his near $5m cap hit is a luxury we can't afford on our 3rd line next year. Certainly not at the expense of a better top 6 / top 4.
