I liked Foligno on the top line
Mikheyev-Nash-Hyman would be the 2nd best shutdown line in the league
ALso Thornton over Galch???
Thornton of Galch is definitely something Keefe would do lmao.
I would go
Foligno - Matthews - Marner
Galch - Tavares - Nylander
Hyman - Kerfoot/Nash - Mikeyev
Thornton/Engvall - Spezza/Kerfoot/Brooks - Simmonds/Spezza
Personally I want Brooks in the lineup. I love him, he plays with intensity, he can pk and play on the pp. If he’s not in the lineup by next year at least I will riot. But I’m not sure he gets a spot unless injuries occur.
Defence, I don’t know what to do. Muzzin has been struggling. Holl declined real fast after his hot start. Rielly is atrocious defensively. Brodie has been alright, those passes out front need to go though. Dermott has been fairly good lately. Bogosian is solid. Sandin deserves a spot. This is maybe what I would test, before playoffs to see how it goes.
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Dermott/Bogosian
Sandin - Bogosian/Dermott
Until Holl proves otherwise, at practice, that he can be a competent part of the d core. I’d sit him.
Split games between Campbell and Rittich until playoffs. Whoever plays better get the start in game 1. Game 2 goes to Andersen, if he blows it, he’s done. I think....
Goaltending is confusing.
