I agree for the most part
He's just very Vanek-like... U aren't gonna see him flying into the boards or crosscheck someone in front of our own net to clear the crease
He's a marleau/Thornton type...
Let's see if he can get to that kind of production though?
Prob not
But 40pts next year is reasonable if he's in the top9

gringo gets 60 points next season if on the second line

Evander Kane is sad you forgot him...
- Orphen22

I didn't forget him.

Kane/Eichel/Girgensons


Just a thought. I think Girgensons is going to be a really good winger. Not a center down the road

Are you pumped for the Tampa/Detroit series? I think it's the 2nd most intriguing one

That would make him a top 30 scorer in the league. I think that is a bit unrealistic right now

To much of the same on one line in my honest opinion.
Kane - Eichel - Ennis
gives you a good mix of physicality, scoring talent, and threat from three different players at once making it hard to concentrate efforts on any single of them.

if he is on the second line, your just another team

if he is on your third line, he is a difference maker

- homiedclown



How is this even coming up?
He's doing well as a center... Keep him there n let him anchor the 3rd line when Reinhart is ready

Girgensons at 3rd line center with Larsson as a winger or 4th line guy is MUCH better than Girgensons as a 2nd line winger with Larsson or Grigorenko as the 3rd center... Right?!

Blues Wild could be a very fun series.

Assuming NO moves are made other then drafting Eichel this is how I would like it to look

Kane - Eichel - Ennis
Moulson - Reinhart - Grigorenko
Foligno - Girgensons - Gionta
Delauries - Larrson - Varone

Risto - Bogo
Zads - Gorges
Pysyk - McCabe
Weber

Lindback
Johnson

Switch Varone with anyone else really, not concrete there just plugging by that point.

All depends. He was a good winger too. He has the ability to drive possession and finish around the net. I think putting him with other skill players could maximize his ability.

Him and Kane would wear down opposing defensemen IMO

I hate when people peg Girgensons as a third liner. That would be a beastly line HOLY CRAP
- Cheeseballin


A third line center on a good team isnt a bad thing to be. He'll get his ice time and be a valuable player

I agree 100%..he needs to be in the top 9, somewhere. Or at least find a way to get him 13-15 mins

Tim Murray said he's not having contract talks with Lindback (which is crazy to me).

And anyone who has Larsson on the 4th line is flat out delusional.

took the words right out of my mouth (fingers?). I think that's a good fit for him to start with if he starts in the nhl or is called up at some point.

Kane // McDavid // (insert RW offseason here)
Moulson // Ennis // Gionta
Larsson // Girgensons // Foligno
Deslauriers // Dalpe // McCormick (or whoever)

Bogosian // Georges
Ristoleinen // Zadorov
Pysyk // Weber

(insert new starter here)
Johnson

This is what I'm hoping for next year.

I dont underestimate him, I just see that there are way better pieces coming then he is and unless your going to say he is a better, more talented center then Eichel, Reinhart, or Girgensons, then there is nowhere else to put him.
