Thread: Opening Night Lineup 2020
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>math731</b></div><div>That Domi issue isnt that big of a problem. Id move him on Zukes' wing and let him take half the faceoff (on his strong side).

Tatar (even though Id trade him)-Danault-Gallagher
Domi-Suzuki-Kovalchuk
Drouin-KK-Armia
Lehkonen-Evans-Byron

Then wait for CC to finish his season and put him on Zukes' line.... Plus the guy we will draft this year. Just imagine how good this team offense will be in one year especially if we end up with Laf! But guys like Raymond, Perfetti, Rossi and Holtz will all be elite</div></div>

The young depth is wild. I feel the need to keep Drouin in the top 6 but you're probably right, I LOVE the Domi-Suzuki-Kovalchuk line. LOVE it. Can you imagine a more fan-favorite line when they hit the ice? the Bell Centre would be electric.

Thread: Opening Night Lineup 2020
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dersfordays</b></div><div>I've gone back &amp; forth on wanting KK in the lineup to start the season. I agree with you, totally feel he could push for a spot at camp and stick, but with Suzuki's emergence in a C role, unless they move Domi (to either wing or another team) i don't see how they'll make that fit. I think they want him &amp; poehling seeing big minutes in the AHL</div></div>

I'm in agreement with both of you, in an ideal world he takes the decision out of management's hands and makes the team without an issue. His rehab has him looking strong af which is a great sign, but i dont think its the end of the world if he starts in the A then gets called up. Still absurdly young. He's certainly an NHL player, just want to see him with bigger minutes.

Thread: Projected Habs Opening Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>juuice</b></div><div>I would be very disappointed if this is the Habs 2020-21 opening night line up. A big move is needed this summer.
- Romanov....I think a year in the AHL would be beneficial
- KK...I'm even thinking he could use more time in the AHL
- Kovalchuk....I REALLY hope Bergevin can find someone better than him to add to the RW
- Lehkonen....really hope there is something more coming. I'd like to upgrade that 3rd Line LW. Personally I would prefer Byron there</div></div>

I get where you're coming from. Although;
- Romanov - every report i've seen indicates the club expects him to play for the CH next season, specifically in a 3rd pair role. honestly knowing our development cycle i wouldnt be surprised to see him on the second pair with Petry at some point.
- KK - I dont disagree at all, i think he could use more time there as well. I think i'd slot Suzuki in at center in that case...
- With the summer of 2021 coming soon &amp; many upcoming contracts extensions to consider, i'd like to see them take a lower risk add in free agency, and Kovalchuk was a great fit.
- Interesting point, again i don't disagree, however we know how valuable Lehky's 2 way ability is to Julien.
Cheers
