§andman 3,798 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 We're almost there... Any predictions? Not much to go off on but: Hyman - Matthews - Nylander Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner Vesey - Kerfoot - Barabanov Spezza - Thornton - Simmonds (It's gonna happen) *I'm thinking Barabanov earns the spot over Robertson. Although Nick might just earn it. Might come down to who can PK better. We also have the problem of what to do with Engvall. I could see him/Spezza/Thornton and rotating in and out. Korshkov and Anderson could be two surprises but I don't think they have enough there. Would like to see Korshkov get some games in, could be a good grinder in the bottom 6. Rielly - Brodie Muzzin - Holl Lehtonen - Dermott Bogosian Think Lehtonen edges out Bogosian. Bogo slots in if Mikko struggles or Holl/Dermott struggle. Would love to see Sandin take a next step but don't think he's there yet. Same with Timmy L. Andersen Campbell Link to post Share on other sites
Morrison7 12,342 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I don’t think they recalled Korshkov back from his loan, iirc. He’d probably benefit more from getting top line minutes in the KHL anyways. Hyman - Matthews - Nylander Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner Vesey - Kerfoot - Simmonds Barabanov - Thornton - Spezza Rielly - Brodie Muzzin - Holl Lehtonen - Dermott Bogosian Taxi squad: Dell, Robertson (ineligible to play in the AHL due to his age), Marincin, Sandin, Timmy, Anderson. I don’t remember how many players can be on the taxi squad, but I do know that there needs to be at least one goalie (Dell) on it and that someone like Marincin will have to clear waivers to be on the squad. §andman 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Duffman 3,435 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hyman-Matthews-Nylander Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner Barbanov-Thornton-Kerfoot Engvall-Spezza-Robertson Simmonds Thornton and Spezza together is a bad idea, way too slow. Simmonds isn't an everyday player, rather see the kids in the lineup. Rielly-Brodie Muzzin-Dermott Lehtonen-Bogosian Holl I'd like to see Dermott tried in a bigger role, and put Lehtonen with a vet like Bogosian to start.

Doc J 4,243 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hyman - Matthews - Mitch Kerfoot - Tavares - Willy Robertson - Joe - Mikheyev Spezza - Engvall - Simmonds Rielly - BrodieMuzzin - HollLehtonen - Dermott No out in Korshkov's contract, so he will finish the season in the K, as he should IMO. Getting big mins and playing very well this season. He'll be very much in the mix next season. Link to post Share on other sites

brocto 2,109 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I’d go with Matthews on top line with Sabourin! PIPERSMAN63 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming Mikheyev comes back strong. Not sure where Thornton slots in.. I definitely want to see his elite passing with Matty. Maybe PP only.. dunno. Link to post Share on other sites
JockDent 1,016 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Jumbo on the top line? Makes sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites
§andman 3,798 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Imagine Thornton was 5-7 years younger? Matthews would score 70 with him. Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan28 2,312 Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:11 PM The 4th line will be centered by Joe Thornton, and his beard will be both wings. Link to post Share on other sites
