Description

So this lineup ****s the bed yet again. Half the team is playing poorly... maybe it's time for a change?
Even Tavares can't transform Hyman into a top line player. Take away his 4 empty net goals. Take away the one Marner put in off his hand. Take away the one that hit the goalie in the chest, bounced off his defenseman and into his own net, on the pk, and Hyman has 2 goals and a dozen points, through 50 games, on the top line. He isn't Tomas Holmstrom. For **** sakes move on.

Chill.. Hyman isnt the problem..

But pairing ****ing Gardiner with Zaitsev and leaving Ozhiganov off the lineup is!

I agree but i would add Zaitsev in my opinion isn't the issue as well i think that zaitsev put with a player like dermott who is more 2 way than gardiner will make zaitsev more complete. I know alot of people may disagree but how often in the last 2 years has he played with anyone other than a one dimentional gardiner or gotten any PP time cause of our lack of depth in PK dman? I honestly think putting Gardiner with Hainsey or Ozzy and Zaitsev with Dermott and balancing the lines a bit more i honestly think this team could become scary good.

Yeah. I was suggesting this pair to break up like a year ago.. Gardiner without Zaitsev and with Hainsey last year during few game stretch was like 3 point per game defenceman and Zaitsev with Dermott looked like a completely different person.. Gardiner on 3rd pairing with Ozzy (Hainsey is bad) would make Kadris scoring go up. All of the lineup would be great..

Muzzin-Rielly (whatever.. I dont like Rielly on right side but whatever I can do)
Dermott-Zaitsev
Gardiner-Ozhiganov
Hainsey

Did you see gardiner last night get lost in our end lose sight of the puck and just skate right away from it... it was almost comical....

So what is the answer?

My three solutions.

1. Reilly/Zaitsev
Gardiner/muzzin

Muzzin and gardiner actually looked to have some chemistry when they were together.

2. Trade Gardiner, try to get some futures back... din’t see that happening...

3. Sit gardiner or put him on the bottom pair.

I think our pairs would be much stronger as:

Reilly/zaitsev
Muzzin/ozhiganov
Dermott/hainsey or gardiner/Dermott

Any other ideas, again I don’t see our defence being as much of a problem as our forwards...

Hyman-Tavares-marner
Kappanen-Matthews-nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-marleau
Lindholm-gauthier-brown

These lines would kil...

I’d rather see hainsey and zaitsev swapped. Let hainsey be the stay at home guy for Gardiner and let Dermott and Zaitsev build chemistry as 2-way dmen that are capable of reading each other when one decides to pinch
