Thread: Make it happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeoZei</b></div><div>I like your signings however I think your lines are way off.
1. Puljujarvi was rarely breaking the second line last year with the exact same top 6 returning this year.
2. RNH won’t be on the third line and if he is for some regular season games it’s at center not on the left.
3. If they are signing PK they won’t play Soucy on his off side if that’s the case they likely play 7D with Broberg as the 7th.
4. Why on earth would you play Derek Ryan (22 points last year) on his off wing when you are sitting Gagner (31points last year) who would be playing his proper wing.
5.Why play Zach A-R who hasn’t played a full season in the last 6 years and has capped out at 17 points in a season when you have Sam Steel who although he hasn’t completed a full season either has had stronger seasons on a weaker team.

So my suggestion would be more along the lines of
Draisaitl-McDavid-Kane
Hyman-RNH-Yamamoto
Milano-Rodrigues-Puljujarvi
Steel-McLeod-Gagner

Nurse-Bouchard
Kulak-Ceci
Soucy-Subban
Broberg

Campbell
Skinner</div></div>

I switched out ZAR for Heinen and put your lines in thoughts now?

Thanks for the input. I think the roster is more important than the actual lines which I just threw together quickly. I think this roster plus the solid AHL team gives us endless line combinations even with injuries

Thread: Lets make it happen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McEwen</b></div><div>Like the Soucy, Geekie for Barrie trade. Optimistic to think we could get Giroux for under 5m. What do you like about Lazar and Galchenyuk? Don't see this as an improvement.</div></div>

I wouldn’t feel ok paying more than 5 mil for Giroux on a 2+ year deal. Lazar and Alex are just depth forwards for under a mil could be literally anyone. The forward core gets a good bump adding 2 top 6 forwards allowing Jesse to play 3rd line and Ryan the 4th line, we also add a good draw winning Center in geekie. If New Jersey would take Foegle and a mid round pick for Mcleod and another one of their cheap depth forwards I would be down to do that to but didn’t put it in this cap friendly. Subbing Keith and Barrie for Broberg and Soucy makes the defence multiple times better in every area except experience. Campbell and Skinner is a way better duo than Smith and Mikko. So this is definitely an improvement over past years Conference final team
