I still think they should put Pastrnak on the top line.

he's been the worst player in the series for either team. I would be more inclined to scratch him than let him drag down the top line the way he's playing.


As for the lines, I would be really inclined to put Mojo on the second line RW, get Khulman the hell out of there, put Kuraly on the third line LW, and suit wags up on the fourth. Acciari is perfectly fine at center.

With that much of a blender to the lines I would like to see that third line - Coyle and Johansson have been good, Pasternak should be gone there. I might try Kuraly centering Krejci and Debrusk.

Im not opposed to this idea, but you arent worried about losing the building chemistry between johansson and coyle?

what??????? you think David Krejci has the speed to play wing? No. please god no.

no. why would I be? They've played together for like a week.

Because lets say you do bring him up and pasta still blows, thats a huge decline in 3rd line depth. At least by keeping them together theres at least 2 decent guys per line.

Flip Khulman and Heinen. That top line needs SOMEONE that will shoot.
The second line needs someone that move the puck out of their own zone. Heinen isn't strong on the puck, but he's clever that way.
Scratch Pasta - addition by subtraction - he has been military grade awful.
I liked Wags with Coyle and MoJo.

then change it mid game.
