I just don’t see that. Wilkie at W too? I do like the lineup though…I’d just move a lot of pieces around 1 Quote

Putting Swanson with them could be really fun to watch. Put a big body Kunz with Omac and Boisvert. Kunz retrieves the puck, OMac dishes it, Boisvert buries it. A lot of skill and speed on that 3rd line. Other teams will have a hard time containing them. Hard workers and some grit on the 4th. 2 Quote

I’ve always questioned Berg at C as he isn’t very rangy. I realize he’s ok at draws, but when you watch him he’s 100% a shoot first wing. I doubt he plays C after college. I think it really depends on if Omac improves at draws, that’ll give them more options. Side note, curious how Strinden shows up this year. He’s probably done more with less ice time than anyone on the team. 4 Quote

hockeytherapy13 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Mine is not terribly different from some of the others. Omac-Berg-Perron James-Boisvert-Swanson Kunz-Wilkie-Strinden Schmaltz-Jammer-Croal Andrew-Monty-Littler Livanavage-Zmolek Macdonald-Emery Strathmann-Wiebe Jubenvill-Komzak Semptimphelter Hedquist Johnson What I have above would be a #1 line with a lot of experience and potential. We need one line loaded to get points reliably each night. Boisvert at center due to his grip strength, size, and high ceiling seems right while moving Omac and Schmaltz to the wings. The 2nd line would be a combo of guys that play with great speed/pace together while the 3rd line is very heavy and hard but has scoring threats. IMO the 2nd and 3rd lines are interchangeable as far as TOI goes 4th line would be a great shutout and high energy line with guys that play solid 200 foot games. Sounds like Croal is an absolute animal and competitor, even though he’s not huge. I’d see Littler challenging him for the other slot on the 4th line Regarding defense, I think the 2nd and 3rd pairing would be similar for TOI but Wiebe is solid on the right side and is comfortable there even for a lefty which is why I have him in that side. Also guessing Jubenvill get plenty of reps, I can see him and littler being the extra skater a lot of games this year Quote

Also guessing Jubenvill get plenty of reps, I can see him and littler being the extra skater a lot of games this year I like these combos and they might've been what I said when we first were throwing combos up a couple months ago but I can't remember. One of the biggest things I'm looking for is trying to put guys together that play at the same pace, feels like too often we have had a guy that just seems out of place on a line because he isn't as good of a skater and he opts to dump a puck and try to play along the boards when he had another forward with him looking to create with his speed. 1 Quote

Similar pace is exactly what I was going for here because I completely agree with how we’ve balanced lines somewhat incorrectly before. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I wouldn't expect a regular lineup card with a freshman center before Christmas; nor would I expect two freshman forwards together until then. After Christmas if you're still playing like a freshman you're not playing. Quote

The nice thing this next season will be that our offensive depth will mean that we're gonna have some talented players on the 3rd/4th lines. Should hopefully create some tough matchups for opposing teams. 2 Quote

Kevin G Posted June 19 Posted June 19 We need at least three forward lines that are a threat to score, in part because I don’t think the d-corps is going to provide much more offense than last year (would love to be wrong). Quote
