<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryancnbb</b></div><div>they have a young core. u do realize guys like Mackinnon can and will be resigned right? the prospect pool is great and guys like newhook and byram haven't even stepped in yet. i also trust sakic to maintain a fairly good future while still being competitive and very good</div></div>

I realize MacKinnion will be resigned. Their core isn't really young anymore, 4 guys 24 or younger, and 10 guys 28+ on the team. They have a few nice prospects, but that's mostly the d-corps and Newhook, nothing that stands out for goalies.

I don't trust Sakic to put together good teams for long. He did blow up a team 112p that had MacKinnion, Barrie, Duschene, ROR, and Landy all 23 or younger and won their Division and turned them into the tire fire of the 16-17 season.

I also think Toronto will experience a rude awakening by 23-24. Robertson, Sandin, and Liljegren will all be off their ELCs by then and Rielly and Andersen both need raises (significant raise in Rielly’s case, unless Sandin has developed to the point where he can fill 1D duties on a Sergachev-esque bridge deal, which is best case, and still likely results in Andersen walking, or one of Robertson/Liljegren/Nylander having to get dealt).

Montreal should also be better with the development of Suzuki/Kotkaniemi (likely established at LEAST as a 1C and 3C by then, likely 1C/2C), Caufield coming into the league, and Romanov likely becoming a top pair D by then. Weber may regress but it’s probable at least one of their plethora of D prospects will step up, and Primeau will be able to step in should Price falter.

LAK is pretty much in the same boat as Montreal, as long as Petersen is a bona fide starter. Byfield, Vilardi, Turcotte, Kaliyev, ****emo, Bjornfot, Clague should all be established by then, and I expect the first 3 plus Bjornfot (at least) to be legitimate stars. Should be a contender for sure.

Thread: 3 line spread - lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PGHBOB69</b></div><div>After your POwer Play, call for your 3rd line now.

It’s why coaches don’t do that. You expose players to extremely long shifts or missing shifts and playing limited minutes when you should be playing that player a lot more minutes. And why would u want DeBrincat playing 3rd line minutes anyways??

Keep your PP guys on your 1st 2 lines. And PK guys on your bottom 2. Pretty simple coaching rule. It’s why coaches don’t do this. You arnt the 1st one to think of doing it or trying it. It doesn’t turn out well.</div></div>

Arizona did this with 3 relatively equal lines spread with somewhat equivalent ice time. I don't think Chicago has the offensive firepower to stack their lines and have enough depth. It works with the right players. It might work here, and boost guys like Wallmark, Highmore and Janmark in the process. In this case, the "2nd line", even though in this context the lines aren't meant to be numbered, would be the more defensive line.

Thread: Prospect update - WCJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>1. What does being a Canadian fan have to do with seeing the truth? Caufield has played great in his limited ice time. Watch a game or two without the Habs bias and you will see just how good the kid really is.

2. Game against Germany #1 line Perfetti-McMicheal-krebs, game against Switzerland #4 line Perfetti-Newhook-Krebs. Yeah I watched the games you should try it.

3. I wasn't deflecting I was comparing Jets best prospect to Habs best prospect. Caufield started on the 4th line with Boldly and Beniers cause of chemistry, and was played only a few shifts with Zebras and Turcotte before being reunited on the 4th line with Boldly and Beniers. The U.S. coach likes to keep guys who have played together in the past on the same lines. I think he is kind of afraid to mess with what has worked before.

4. I am actually a big fan of all 3 of Perfetti, Caufield and Kaliyev all 3 are very good players and will have long NHL careers.</div></div>

Boldy-Beniers-Caufiled are U.S.A 2nd line
Kaliyev is horrid I don’t think he’ll be a regular at the NHL level
