Quoting: oilfire
Love the idea of the top line. Kinda silly taking Lindy off of the dot, but they can just trade out on O zone face offs depending on side. Huby looked his best next to Backlund, and while Lindys been good, he can be better, give him the Backlund bump.
I don't know what to do with Kadri, don't like him with mang or dube, we saw too much of it and it didn't work, maybe with different wingers. I like giving him Toffoli because we haven't seen it, he's been good maybe he can elevate Kadri. I would give him Coleman as well for some responsibility.
Maybe Mang-Dube-Lewis and a kid line of Pelts-Rosy-Duehr?
I would also like to see Huby-Lindholm-Mang, it's how we should have started the season based on Mang and Toffoli’s performance from last season but Sutter LOOOVES his guys.
We should've bought Horvat or Meier this year, those deals were easy to beat (more the Horvat deal) and we could have sold next year to recoup those assets.
I'd prefer Kadri be moved to the wing. He's a lone wolf out there, which makes it hard for his wingers to know where he's going and/or where to go.
I do agree, Mang & Dube didn't work as his wingers, but Mang & Coleman have looked dangerous with Kadri in the past.
And Yes, Huby & Backlund had decent chemistry, so give them a better sniper like Toffoli, Mangiapane, Ruzicka or Duehr at RW:
Mangiapane/Toffoli-Lindholm-Kadri
Huberdeau-Backlund-Toffoli/Mangiapane
Dube-Ruzicka-Coleman OR Coleman-Dube-Ruzicka (since Dube is more experienced and might be the Better Centre)
Pelletier/Ritchie-Lewis-Duehr
Best to shelter the kids with at least one Veteran imo I just want Lucic sat, but you're right about Sutter, he loooooves his guys
Horvat would have been a great pick up imo. Better to bring in another Centre and move Kadri to the Wing then another Winger imo
