Seriously though the last five periods have been the complete opposite of what all periods before that were. Something just went wrong, and I'd prefer for them to change that, quick.

Legit only Wyatt Johnston has been able to score during this timeframe lol. Love the kid, but we won't win any games like that.


I think we need to shake up the lines quite a bit. I know our top line is magic, but Hintz and Gurianov seem to have had some decent chemistry over the years so I wonder what this would look like to spread things out a little more evenly across the lines:
Robertson Hintz Gurianov
Benn Seguin Pavelski
Blumel Johnston Dellandrea
Marchment Glendening Kiviranta
Scratch Faksa.

The second line is a bit too slow for my tastes. Also Marchment-Hintz-Gurianov was decent during preseason. So maybe something like this:

Robertson-Johnston-Pavelski
Marchment-Hintz-Gurianov
Benn-Seguin-Dellandrea
Kiviranta-Glendening-Faksa/Peterson/Blumel

Also, redo the defense

Heiskanen-Hakanpää
Lindell-Lundkvist
Harley/Suter/Butcher/Shea-Miller

Otter
Wedgewall

Julien Gauthier looked more noticeable than any game I’ve seen from Kakko/Laf. If that kid could finish…

Always been a fan of his, has so much speed to burn, but like you said no finish.

Brutal turnover. Gotta drive goalies mad. Just pass the puck to the corner.

Is there any chance he becomes a 1B goalie or is he basically a once every 2 weeks starter?

I see him as a future 1B. Not the elite starter that some Oilers fans are hoping for, but I think he is a solid tandem goalie

Well they potentially could have had an elite starter in the works but for some reason they traded down

Wallstedt has a .880 sv% and a 2.79 GAA in his first few AHL games, Bourgault has 2G 2A in his first 5 AHL games and Muzenberger is a PPG in the NCAA right now

He probably becomes a tandem goalie but I can see a future where he becomes a above average starter

The isles shouldn’t be making any trades right now plus they don’t need a defenseman, the only trade should be for a forward.

At 24 years old, Chychrun has had surgeries on both knees, his shoulder, and most recently his wrist and ankle. He is entering his seventh season on the Coyotes, and the most games he’s ever played was 68 in his rookie year.

Now watch the Leafs trade for him, god knows we like previously injured players
