Thread: What the lines should be until theres a trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>Lmao this is brutal zero chance they bring up Clifford jarnkrok and Gregor aren’t getting scratched domi doesn’t leave 3C Knies needs to be in the top 6</div></div>

yeah it's not realistic at all obviously, but I'm at my wits end watching an ineffective bottom 6 that can't produce offence OR defend. So at least in this case the 4th line will hit some guys and the third line might actually produce some offence.

Knies top 6 convo is interesting because I agree he's got the skill to hang there, but he's also clearly burnt out having never played remotely close to this much hockey before. Top 6 minutes would certainly give him nothing left in the tank come playoff time.

But you are right- I don't think my lines are realistic- it's more of a philosophical change I'd like to see unless they can get some new bodies in the lineup.

Thread: The Hard discussion is coming
You absolutely have a point, and I agree. To piggyback on that, they need to see what they can get for expiring UFA’s like Bertuzzi, Domi, and maybe even Brodie and McMann? If they can get some picks or any sort of value for those guys, I would do it. Go into next season with Matthews and Nylander with bigger contracts and less team cap space, see what they’ve got in some of their prospects and Marlies and see who can take a step. And then the following year, when Tavares and Marner are off the books is when you go for it. Re-sign Tavares on the cheap as a 3C or second line left wing. Let Marner walk if he won’t take a discount. Hopefully Minten and Cowan are ready, and hopefully Knies has come into full form. The remaining enormous amount of cap space can be used to bolster the lineup accordingly. But damn do they ever need to decide if they are buyers or sellers, because if they are punting, letting guys walk for nothing once again would be majorly disappointing.
