Description

Not sure why Hynes is rolling with same lineup.
Harpur-Gudbranson/Benning pairing continues to be hemmed in own end, poor giveaways, 3 slow moving defensemen who can't carry the puck.
Davies is a puck-carrier he would help the bottom line successfully perform controlled zone exits. Fabbro will replace Benning when healthy

Im not going to breakup 19-64-11line just yet...
Pitlick is more exciting than Haula, would pair nicely on a line with Tolvanen while Forsberg is out.
3rd line only works if Duchene is a shooter, he has been excellent at creating opportunities and below average on finishing

Dont let Arvidsson anywhere near the power play, he cannot take one-timers and it is not apart of their strategy

I don't know if I can see him scratching Haula.

I wonder if Tolvanen could help spark Duchene if they were on the same line?

And I would be just as terrified of a Davies - Gudbranson pairing -- Davies makes awful decisions in the defensive zone and I just don't think he's quite ready yet.

As a Sens fan, i feel your pain having Harpur/Boro/Gudbranson on your team.

I'd be OK with Arvidsson on the PP, if he went back to staying in the crease and causing havoc for goalies.

I disagree, I know Davies has had his share of turnovers, but he has made some great quick decisions in his own end that leads to a breakout. Hapur/Gudbranson have struggled, especially when together

I would like to see either forsberg or tolvanen with Duchene. Duchene needs a skilled player to play with and it would help balance the lines

Kunin is a much better net front option on the second PP unit. Maybe Arvi could slot in similar to where Joey does higher in the slot waiting for bumper passes from the side of the net.
