Description
He said in all likelihood, Palmeri and Zajac play on a line together. Makes sense. But the only question is, who plays where.

Pageau is too good a center to move to the wings, makes way too much sense to keep Pageau at center. I agree with this lineup.

A small part of me wants to believe this is the lineup:

Wahlstrom-Barzal-Eberle
Beau-Nelson-Bailey
Palmieri-Zajac-Pageau
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

It’d keep the second line, which has done well lately, intact. It’d also let us see how Wahlstrom looks next to Barzy. But your lineup is far more likely and I still love the way it looks.

Doesn't really make sense. Palmieri and Zajac didn't play together in NJ

Pageau can take the faceoffs and play the wing id love to see him lineup
Pageau-Barzal-Wahlstrom
Beau-Nelson-Eberle
Bailey-Zajac-Palms
Gives two triggers on each of the top two lines could also argue to flip beau and bailey as beau could also play a trigger kinda role if they’re gonna roll all 3 lines even I think this works incredibly well

I like Zajac a lot but tying Palmieri to him seems like a waste. Would like to see him up with Barzal and Eberle, but I suppose not

Yeah Ik but I don't think it will work. They should play Palmieri in the top 6 and Zajac on the 3rd line

I think in the short term, letting them get comfortable on a line together, likely the third line where they’ll get sheltered minutes, will help get their confidence up. No rule saying Palms has to stay with Zajac all season, for now, I like this move.
