ehh combos will be switched up alot anyways to see what works

id like to see jagr and henrique play together too see if jagr can get more out of henrique and teach him a thing or 2 be a mentor

I'm going out there a bit:

Elias - Zajac - Ryder
Tedenby - Henrique - Jagr
Clowe-Loktionov-Zubrus
Bernier - Gionta - Carter

Greene - Larsson
Salvador - Fayne
Merrill - Zidlicky

Schneids
Marty

Yes you read that 2nd line right, I for one have not given up on Tedenby yet. Maybe it's because I'm stubborn, but more likely because I believe that when given an opportunity in the top 6 he can be extremely effective (like when he was playing top 6 minutes his rookie year). The same way a lot of us hope Jagr can help Henrique, the same could be said for Teds (or JJ, or any young guy really). Teds isn't meant to be a 3rd/4th liner. So that's where my 2nd line comes from. 1st line is IMO a good combo of offense and defensive responsibility. Zub and Clowe on the third line will make lots of space for Lokti. CBGB, nuff said.

I don't really know what to do on D after Greene-Larsson. I really want Merrill on this team. I said this partially as a joke the other day but legitimately Zidlicky should be on this team for almost exclusively power-play, he should get no defensive zone starts, at least at first. Sal is the captain for some reason so he'll play almost every night. If Merrill impresses I think it will become a real ice-time battle between Fayne, A-Train, and Harrold.

I said that awhile ago and still hope Teddy can bounce back.


Elias- Zajac- Ryder
Teddy- Henrique- Jagr
Clowe- Lokti - Zubrus
Carter- Gionta- Bernier


or...

Elias - Zajac - Ryder
Lokti - Henrique - Jagr
Clowe - Josefson - Zubrus
Carter - Gionta - Bernier

doubt these lines would happen at all and hard to believe Lou would pay clowe 4.something to play on the 3rd line... but i dont know how clowe and jags would work out.

Can't come soon enough.

Said awhile ago that a line of Clowe-Zajac-Zubrus could be an outstanding combo, what with the size and puck control they would have, but it kinda leaves the other two lines a bit awkward

Line could be perfect to shut down opponents. But like you said i have no idea how the other 2 lines would look.

Our lines would look a lot better if we had some good players... just saying

Also since Larsson will never amount to anything as a defensman why dont we switch him to forward

Exactly Missing 2 reliable forwards sucks a lot. People have to step up mainly Zajac and Henrique. Elias can't keep being the best forward i know he's still really good but at some point someone else needs to pick it up.

Not sure you can play the countrymen angle with Elias and Jagr, especially with Zajac, since they are the three best passers on the team.

Gionta is on a two-way deal, Josefson and Tedenby would be claimed on waivers, and there's still no room for a rookie on D

I'm on the Tedenbeastmode 2014 bandwagon
