PeteyBOI Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 1. fast strong defensive player but first line scoring skills even if just average 2. top notch shooter/scorer and gritty, need to be strong to fight for the open ice, Brock and miller are great playmakers 3. you could go a couple ways here depends what the identity of the offensive structure wants to look like... but someone that can grind the boards winning battles and pass well. Garland and Blueger are great at popping goals in, just need to feed them the puck... 4. defensive/gritty 4th line players often have really good tools but lack in certain area's either gritty or defensive would be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) -Skilled grinder (a "Burrows") -Speedy defense first, two way player (Mik) -Bigger, gritty board guy with some passing/play making (Podz?) -chip on shoulder guy with solid defensive play and some (as yet unrealized) offensive upside (might be Studnika if his early camp holds out).

Phil_314 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I'd actually arrange it differently if the lines were up to me: Kuzmenko - Petey - Boeser (96 and 40 are more flashy and good passers, and Boeser can feed off their dishes for easy goals) Mikheyev - Miller - Beauvillier (both 65 and 18 are fast enough to keep up with 9, and they can all finish plays off each other while playing a 200-foot game) Garland - Suter - Podkolzin (Garland can have a big year feeding both his snipers, and Suter/ Podkolzin can be the defensive presence) (4th line I'm not sure we have him yet, maybe Di Giuseppe or Hoglander, even if he's smaller?) But if we're keeping 9 and 6 together I'd go with Mikheyev, and Beauvillier with 96 and 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 AB EP AK (IM injured) PDG JM BB TB PS CG AJ NA JS NH Top 9 you can just roll. 4th is your energy, hard hard to play against grinding line. Podz to AHL to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
