Thread: Playoffs Lines Question Mark
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>What's the rationale behind the lines? Kubalik was cranking snipe after snipe with Kane at the end of the season. It's why I think they can handle a lesser proven Center. Also, Nylander has found more success in a bottom six role compared to a top six role. Just curious to hear your thoughts. Cheers!</div></div>

The top two lines were playing quite well together before the season stopped, and I would rather have Nylander sheltered with Kane than dragging down an otherwise shutdown line. Kubalik should definitely be on PP1 to keep getting those snipes, but I liked him with Cags and Toews at even strength. That leaves DeBrincat Dach and Saad for the 3rd line, and I think those guys have complementary play styles, and would also give us 3 at least decent scoring lines, with one shutdown line.

Thread: 24 Team Playoff Exoanded Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>I love everything about these lines. First line is an obvious selection, cat-strome-Kane gets the absolute best out of cat and strome, and the bottom six hopefully shutdown the rest of the game with energy and defensive responsibility. Only question mark in the lineup is, as you brought up, what Mitchell’s status would be. I’d like to see him, but I don’t know what the status of his contract is, be it active this year or next year.

All around solid choices, kudos.</div></div>

I think the reason his contract isn't official yet is because they wanted it to start next year but the league doesn't know if the season is over or not. So he will probably be replaced by McCoshen, but we'll see.
