Boudrias Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 11 minutes ago, IBatch said: Will be interesting to see where Tochett puts EP. EP played LW in the SHL, that was quite some time ago. Against the teams we regularly play, like the idea of keeping teams guessing. It's already part of Tochetts playbook, "scissoring" the forward group and even the D at times in the O-zone. These two should be able to take to this like a duck on water. This won't be an LE type thing, as in "he played with him in the worlds, the Sedins will bounce back to their previous production" sort of deal. If I had to guess, they will try them both at center, and after a dozen or so games settle down the roles. Lindholm on the wing to start. Taking the R side draws. We just added a 30 plus goal scoring responsible, highly skilled two-way forward. Think long term, if we sign Lindholm and EP, they could become one of the best pairings in the league. IMHO a big question is whether Mik can stay in the top 6? He is the biggest weakness in that group. I expect Hogs to get a look with the EP40 and Lindholm. Drop Mik to play with Lafferty and Aman. PDG is not far from game ready as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be surprised to see a positive bump in Mik's play with his new line. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the biggest weakness in that group. I expect Hogs to get a look with the EP40 and Lindholm. Drop Mik to play with Lafferty and Aman. PDG is not far from game ready as well. Think he will. Garland is too important on his line. Ilya Mikheyev and Lindholm likely become our first PK unit as well. So working together to build chemistry makes sense. Lafferty and Pizza have shown that they can make things work in spells, same with Hogs in the top six. Suter makes perfect sense with Miller and Brock. Rolling four lines will be cake now. Very difficult to defend against us. Cap means someone will be traded or not signed this off season. JR liked pairs. That likely means Mikheyev is traded and someone from Abby is promoted. For now nothing at all to worry about. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 14 hours ago, DeNiro said: So Mikheyev switches from right wing to left wing? Wonder if that’s the spark he needs. Anyone know which wing he prefers? He’s listed as a right winger. I think it's only a few games until Hoglander gets moved into the top 6. Nice to have a lot of options though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago had a number of good goalie names back around then.

Strawbone Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 2 minutes ago, Rip The Mesh said: The thing that stands out to me about that forward group is how every line has a strong defensive presence. There's just no weak links with Kuzy gone. And despite that, there's tons of scoring as well. Man, they've built a solid group this season, and I'm loving it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
