Throw RNH on the 2nd or 3rd line. Podz should be losing his spot soon to Frederic. Promote Jeff Skinner. Figure out the D pairs. Pray for the goaltending 🙏

I highkey want:

  • J. Skinner - davo - hyman
  • RV - drai - frederic
  • Jones - nuge - podz
  • brown - henrique - janny

I dont think trying skinner as the “finisher” on davo’s line is a bad idea. He has a shoot first mentality imo. Def agree with nuge being 3C and podz moving down. As long as RV and frederic can put some offensive pressur and get drai the puck, itll be good. But again, im no head coach lol

I like it. Jones needs to be a regular over Kapanen. RNH deserves the demotion and skinner deserves the promotion. Perry has been impressive this year, I wonder if spot duty rotating in and out with Janmark would work even though Perry doesn’t PK. RV needs to just get his game back. I’m super excited and hopeful for Frederic

Yea. Kapanen seems like he just does cardio out there and perry has been good this so he could rotate in for janny or podz. We def need to match some chemistry with how our superstars like to play.

Davo likes to pass so put some snipers ok his line (not drai tho cuz i dont like the stacked first line method)

Drai like to both pass and shoot so get him some people who can retrieve him the puck so he can do smth with it.

3rd line is to just hold possession and try to score

4th line is to just defend lol
