Description

These are my line predictions for the upcoming season based on chemistry
1st: Hyman is Matthews boy and him and Marner were lights out
2nd: JT centering Nylander and Soup looked pretty good last year and with soup healed up I'm assuming they'll try it again
3rd: My prediction is they'll try Vesey with Kerfoot because they played college together, not sure how it'll go but its worth a shot.
4th: The retirement home + Engvall

All this being said, everyone thinks Engvall is gonna be in the minors but for some reason I cant see it, I don't see the point in playing Robertson on the 4th line and I think the only way he plays the 3rd is if he plays RW and Simmonds moves to 4th line LW

What do you guys think?

Nah. Bring back the Hyman-AM-WN line
Then play Mik with JT and MM
Play Kerfoot on Joe's LW and Vesey on the right
Then play Engvall/Anderson with Spezza and Simmonds

I really struggle to see where Robertson fits here

I'd only play Robertson the year after, when Vesey expires

the AHL?

Some canadian writer makes an article of how Robertson is the next greatest thing since sliced bread and cap friendly has to deal with Braco 2.0.

He's 5'9 maybe? and 160lbs. Looks like a small child playing with men.
That may work in the CHL where 3/4 the league will never even make it to the AHL, but that's not gonna cut it at the NHL level. He'll be the next excuse as to why TOR has no pushback and replaced by a 43 year old guy who can't skate anymore.

Agreed, I really want to see:
Nylander Matthews Hyman (reunite Willy and Auston)
Vesey Tavares Marner (put Mitch back with JT)
Engvall Kerfoot Mikheyev (looked really good when together)
Simmonds Thornton Spezza
