Thread: Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>But Anderson could be vital to Caufield's success with his physical play and one on one battles along the boards. I dont worry too much about the wing on which Caufield will play... He's more of a east-west player and like to control the puck on his off-wing. That allows him to use his shot more efficiently</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howisjulienstillhere</b></div><div>Exactly what I’m thinking. Anderson creates space for caufield and can win battles, plus he’s fast which will help caufield
Caufield doesn’t stick to one side of the ice, he starts in the right corner behind his net and ends up in the left corner behind the other teams net</div></div>

Both good points but here is another one. Drouin and Anderson have been great together no matter who their center was. So even if you leave CC on his off wing with TT on the right, I would leave JD and JA together and have them centered by either Suzuki or KK. Any way you look at it this team could end up wit 3 #2 lines or if everything works out even 1A, 1B, 1C lines and a 2 or 3 Line what a great problem to have!

Thread: Next Season
1. Keep Tatar and Danault as that line just works!

2. Drouin and Anderson combination is working like the Tatar-Danault-Gallagher line keep them together. It doesn't matter who centers that line Suzuki or KK as both work. I prefer Suzuki just to keep 2 of our smaller forwards (NS and CC) off the same line.

3. Since I prefer JD-NS-JA the 3rd line combo is TT-KK-CC feel like this quickly becomes our #1 line.

4. I would consider keeping Lehky and Perry and trading Evans. To create a line of AL-RP-CP

5. The D we only need one of Chiarot or Edmundson so trade one for cap space. I feel like Gustafsson will be a great partner for Weber and will find his game as DD has let the D have a lot of free reign so far. I also believe Romanov and Fleury are ready for bigger roles. Resign Merrill as a depth cheap D and lineup.

Romanov-Petry
Gustafsson-Weber
Edmundson/Chiarot-Fleury
Merrill

Price
Backup (I assume that Allen is gone, although it wouldn't surprise me if Francis takes Evans either)

I have no idea what the cap looks like yet as I have not created an ACGM yet lol. That however is my offseason wish list.

Thread: Idk what they do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Context matters, when Eichel is literally asked leading questions, what is he supposed to say. Keep willing it to happen though. Adams was not taking calls that is a debunked lie. Adams said people called on him, but hes not shopping him. He said it more than once</div></div>

What is Eichel supposed to say? Are you serious or is Eichel to dumb to figure out what the standard answer is? The standard answer BTW is "I won't discuss personal or team matters in public" simple as that! If he can't follow a simple script don't have him go out in front of the press.

Edit** Every GM says they are not shopping players because by admitting to shopping players lowers their trade value. Perhaps you should follow hockey a little closer to learn these little intricacies of the sport.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Those do not equal each other rofl, every player wants to win. Does Matthews want out of Toronto?, theyve won as many series as Buffalo</div></div>

Has Matthew's publicly said he wants things to change now? Has he said he is tired of not making the playoffs for 9 straight years? Has Matthew's said if things don't change he will have to consider all his options? Right that would be a NO to all of those questions but you know who has said all those thing publically? That's right Eichel has. There is one more piece of evidence you are over looking as well. Buffalo was taking calls and considering an Eichel trade. Does a team normally do this with an elite franchise center who is in his prime and under contract for several more years? No they do not. The only way a team considers moving a player of Eichels caliber while in his prime and under contract for 6 more years is if the player requests a trade. Otherwise they immediately make it known that Eichel is not on the market. This did not happen with Buffalo though.

Now that I provided the links I will add this. Those stats are for ALL players who took 1 or more draws, including wingers and D men who tend to inflate the team stat a bit. You can narrow down the stats by selecting only players who have taken more than say 250 draws over the course of the season to get a more accurate number but I didn't feel like doing that. Just a quick look at the the stats and you will see most of these teams only have 1 C higher than 50% one hovers around 50% and 2 or more are often below 47%. Take a look if you don't believe me. FO are not as critical as everyone makes them out to be.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CeceHuey</b></div><div>I understand your point, very good 🙂 so if he wins faceoffs...
Lines should be:

Tatar Danault Byron
Drouin Kotkaniemi Anderson
Toffoli Suzuki Perry
Lehkonen Staal Armia

Edmunson Weber
Kulak Petry
Romanov Merrill (even if i think Gustavson can take is place because Merrill cause turnover often ...) let’s see</div></div>

Evans just brings more than Staal IMO. Staal strength is winning FO, Evans has speed, better defensive awareness, more of an offensive threat and wins FO at about 50% compared to Staal's 68% ish. FO are not as important as people would have you believe. For instance did you know 3 of the last 5 Cup winners had a team FO% of less than 50%? Keep Evans in and if you really want to keep Staal in replace Lehky with him and alternate Evans with Staal when there is an important draw
