Lines Id run

Eyssimont shouldnt be the 3C, if anything Paul will be there and Eyssimont will be on the 4th line and probably a call up will steal that final roster spot over Brown and BB

Glendening will be 4c Paul had his best numbers playing with Killer and Stamkos last season and I think he'd do well there. I just left BB cause I didn't want to hear the ABB garbage

Eyssimont will probably be on the 4th line wing, maybe he ends up 3rd line over time if they move Paul up. But knowing Cooper and how he likes his lines, Paul will likely be the 3C most of the year to add "Depth" to the bottom 6. I wouldnt mind seeing a young guy like Goncalves or even Merela stealing a middle 6 spot and shuffling Sheary, Paul, Merela/Goncalves, Jeannot, and Cirelli in the middle 6

maybe even run something along the lines of:

Hagel-Point-Stamkos
Sheary-Paul-Stamkos
Merela-Cirelli-Jeannot
Archibald-Glendening-Eyssimont

I utterly disagree with your assessment of Eissymont see a lot of Yanni Gourde in him. Merela is going to need to at least start the year in the AHL . Get used to the smaller rinks. Unless he just blows everyone away. Clearly your not double shifting Stamkos to sit Kucherov obvious typo.

I love Eyssimont, but unless Sheary or Paul are on the 2nd line, there isnt a spot for him other than 4th line and PK duties. Just going off his linemates, Alot of it was spent with Maroon, Perry, and Paul. If someone like Tatar or whatever middle 6 winger decided to sign here, there really isnt a chance for Eyssimont to be more than a 4RW and PK guy. I honestly wouldnt mind seeing Eyssimont with Paul and Jeannot and letting them just wear down teams like Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman did
