Where does Hall fit on PP1? He's probably not the in front of the net kinda guy...and of we assume Goaloffson stays on the right Eichel on the left Dahlin up top do u put Hall in the slot and Reinhart in front?

I agree wholeheartedly. I think I'd play Skins on Eichel's left to maximize him and Olofsson on the right with Staal and Hall. I think we need some 3rd line wingers, hopefully a veteran to help out Cozens. I think that's the biggest glaring hole right now. A goalie would be nice too. Can't stomach watching a half blind goaltender again.

I'd play Skinner with Eichel. I think you need to make the most out of that contract and we've seen him succeed with Eichel before.

He has succeeded with plenty of players. He scored 204 goals in 579 games as a Hurricane, which included 2 years as a teenager.

that is a surefire way to make sure Hall makes this a 3/4 of a year stint.
gets dealt at the deadline because he publicly makes it known he wants out of the rats nest.

I have no idea how well things will work. I stated an opinion based on their playing styles.

You showed up to troll.

The problem with splitting them up is that hall with Staal skinner means he doesn't have linemates to keep up with him in transition so his fast breaks which he is best at are less effective. I think hall and eichel are a great fit together and your 2nd line of skinner staal olofsson/reinhart is still deadly.
Also skinner plays well with a staal type of center so he should bounce back as well

I think putting them together limits their effectiveness as both are puck dominant in transition.

that being said, i fully expect them to play together.

no, not to troll but to also give my opinion.
do you think Taylor Hall willingly signed in Buffalo to play on the 2nd line with Staal?
no chance, they guy signed to play with Eichel to boost his value.

you guys finally have some good happening and you want to ruin it by putting your 2nd best player with an aging center who doesn't want to be in Buffalo.

Yeah I can see that. Maybe put cozens with hall to have someone who can keep up. I just worry staal will be too far behind for hall

Yes. So it is not imperative that he play with Eichel. I think its much more important that Olofsson play with eichel as he has not proven anything away from him.

Never said it was imperative. I said it's what I would do.
