I dont know how to quote someone off an article but im sure a few people have read that Hakstol said that Macmillian and O'donnel had natural chemistry together and he possibly wants to keep them together for the upcoming season so that should help us figure out what lines might be. I might go with Grimaldi being on that top line and having O'donnel, Macmillian and Parks on the second line and have Rowney center the 3rd line which is not an insult to him. The Rowney line can be a scoring or a checking line.
Congratulation to Andrew "the animal" Macwilliam on becoming captain of our Fighting Sioux, and to Corban, Kristo and Rowney. I thought Rowney might become an assistant, I'm kinda surprised that Gleason voted as an assistant to
that would be a deadly topline but I thought I heard somewhere that Grimaldi is a natural centerman so put him with Mcmillian and Parks, put O'donnel on the first line. Put a veteran Rowney with the 2 freshman again and see what happens. St. Clair Pattyn and Rodwell can be a good checking line, or you could switch rodwell with one of the 2 freshman on the third line.
weird post I know I was just seeing if my posting was working. so now that we have a roster what are the lines going to look like.
O'donnel Knight Kristo
Macmillian Grimaldi Parks
Caggila Rowney Chyzyk
Gaardier Pattyn, St. clair Sanderson
Macwilliam Mattson
Schwartz Forbort
Gleason Simpson
Panzy
I know I spelled names wrong but I can't go back and look on my phone
I think to start the season Knight obviously centers first line, Grimaldi centers the second line, Rowney centers of third line, and Pattyn possibly centers the fourth line. I see Rodwell playing a third or fourth line grinder.
I was watching Chyzyk and Caggliua on youtube last night and from what I saw we could easily have 3 scoring lines and 2 checking lines, but then again they wern't playing against college players.
what lineup looks better?
O'donnel Knight Kristo
Macmillian Grimaldi Parks
Sanderson Rowney Rodwell
Gaardier Pattyn St. Clair
O'donnell Knight Kristo
Macmillian Grimaldi Parks
Chyzyk Rowney Caggliua
Gaardier Pattyn Rodwell
I think chyzyk was playing center but we have enough centers already and look how well Rowney played with Macmillian and parks last season so I put him with 2 freshman again. I sat St. Clair because we haven't seen him play yet
