Playoff Lines and Depth When Healthy

Created by: villenash
Team: 2020-21 Nashville Predators
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 12, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The 4th line is the hardest to determine right now. Trenin - Sissons - Olivier have been playing well, but I don't know if I see Hynes scratching all three of Richardson, Cousins, and Grimaldi if they're healthy. Olivier is the easiest to scratch, so maybe Richardson slides in at 4C and Sissons moves to 4RW -- then potentially a revolving door on 4LW with Trenin/Grimaldi/Cousins.

I personally would want to see a defense along the lines of

Josi Fabbro
Ekholm Carrier
Harpur Ellis

Can really spread out the minutes and that's 3 pairings that you can put out against anyone. Also don't think Fabbro is good enough to carry Benning whereas Ellis can carry Harpur and Harpur adds a little size and grit. Really like the forward lines.

I thought about those D lines too actually but thought Benning has earned his spot to start in the playoffs. I'd be happy with either lineup though -- it would be interesting to see what it's like having one of the big 3 on the ice at all times.

I do not want to see NSH breakup the Jarnkrok - Granlund - Kunin line. Granlund has played well at center. Hard to bet against reuniting the 9-95-64 line.
Whoever is not playing with Forsberg will need to step up, Duchene, Johansen, Arvidsson, Tolvanen need to find a way to produce if Forsberg is not on their line.

Forsberg - Johansen - Tolvanen
Jarnkrok - Granlund - Kunin
Haula - Duchene - Arvidsson
Trenin/Cousins - Sissons - Grimaldi/Olivier
Rotate based on matchup

I could see Hynes forcing Richardson into lineup, for face-offs / defensive ability, however it would mess with the identity he's been preaching of a fast/physical 4th line.
