The only 2b line Adam deserves to be on is inthe AHL right now.

Why not Cody on the 4th line?

- Homer


Adam looked like a slower Wayne Primeau last night. He has skills, but he does not consistently skate like an NHL'er yet.

Why not Gerbe on that line? He creates space, is disruptive and leaves a lot of garbage to be cleaned up.

Just curious for POV on that one.

My opinion is that you don't break up the Leino Roy Pominville line.
So two options...
Vanek Ennis Stafford
Gerbe Gaustad Kaleta
Ellis Boyes McC

or

Gerbe Ennis Stafford
Vanek Gaustad Kaleta
Ellis Boyes McC

i think that gerbe needs to be with goose and kaleta, they all thrive when they are together.

Ok I admit it I just want them to punish Stafford by sending him down to the 3rd/4th line.

Def. another option. Vanek can play RW.
Not sure how I feel about Staff on third line. Think I would rather keep Boyes there than Staff.

I def think you could put Vanek on a line without Roy or Ennis and see success making this team even deeper than right now. And actually I don't think, I know bc I've seen it before last season....

They do play well. But I kind of like Boyes on this line. Gives Gaustad more freedom it seems. And plus I just see Gerbe Gaustad Kaleta as a really amazing fourth line, not third. They play well together but have they really produced when together? Not really

It did get carried away by some late comers, is what happened. It might get reopened soon, when I can go and clean it up while not on a work computer.

Next time it will be deleted though, sorry.

Staff was feeding Ennis and gerbe well a few days ago. He's still underacheiving but it's something.

It's all good. I wasn't here last night. I figured it would be a poop show so I opted out till today.

Possibly. I would rather not see it but you have to consider how well the Gaustad line is doing, not just offensively but defensively as well. What I want to see really is Vanek and Adam together to try and get him going giving us four good lines.
Actually these lines would be amazing but I know Kass isn't coming up right now.

Well perhaps if he was, he'd be on one of the top 2 lines. I actually like Boyes in the lower pairing, let Stafford try his hand on the other one.

Unless they're afraid it would hurt his trade value, in which case by all means they should let him keep trying to pot garbage goals until they can unload him.

Def. not out-performing him on the score-sheet but Boyes is playing a really responsible game lately. Blocking shots, etc. Stafford still leaves so much to be desired. Esp. winning battles, etc.

What part of Adam is BARELY still in the NHL is not understood here?? He has been horrible in the last 25 games.. He doesn't below in the top 2 lines right now with how well Ennis is playing Pivot..

Leino - Roy - Pominville
Vanek - Ennis - Gerbe
Boyes - Gaustad - Stafford
Adam - McCormick - Kaleta

Atleast with Vanek back it will allow Ellis to be a scratch..

I can see Ennis & Gerbs speed opening up the ice for Vanek. Add in Ennis's silky mitts & that could be a dangerous line.
