Initial Creation Date: Sep. 27, 2016

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Strome, Nelson and Lee all had wonderful production on the same line. Why not try it again?

As for a Dal Colle - Barzal - Ho Sang line... I know. This is a huge risk. But honestly, Barzal has nothing more to learn from the WHL. Dal Colle is ready. And Ho Sang shows TREMENDOUS chemistry with both of them. I honestly think this would be an incredibly deep top 9. Finally, you have a tried and true 4th line combo with Chimera instead of Martin.

Grabovski could easily go on LTIR right now, Kulemin could easily clear waivers (and if he doesn't who cares?) and Bailey as a 13th forward does nothing but increase our offensive depth.

The point of this line arrangement is focusing on good line chemistry. One of the biggest reasons our best players struggled on an individual level is because they were always moving from line to line. Give everyone a steady line to work with, and make sure everyone has chemistry with at least one of their linemates. Tavares has Parenteau, Strome has Lee and Nelson, Dal Colle has Ho Sang (and Barzal?) and Cizikas has Clutterbuck. Give all of these line combos a chance, and I have no doubt this would be a playoff team.

I think the weak link so far is Ho-Sang. In my mind, he has the highest potential on that 3rd line (19 Goals, 63 Assists in the OHL last year... Christ.), but ever since last year's training camp, he understandably isn't as trusted. If Ho-Sang falters, you could plug in Prince to his old slot.

This team is going to regress before it gets better again. losing Okposo is a huge blow to scoring.
