You can't just give a line a terrible nickname. If anything they should just be called the Beast Line for being defensive zone beasts. |

The top line gets some defensive assignments now. Not on par with these guys mind you.
Eakins will have to start easing at least 1 other line into defensive situations or they're going to burn out. - Morris
This. I wonder how good this line will look at the 30 game mark, 50... I would still like to see a third line defensive centre brought in, move Drasaitl to the wing if you have to but give one more option for some defensive zone starts. |

"Huge Grenade Jumpers Line" is not clever, at all. |

Wait a minute.....prior toGrabovski signing in New York there was plenty of talk of running 3 scoring lines and one checking line if we could snag him. I'm more of a traditionalist, and wanted 2 scoring lines and 2 checking lines like the Oilers teams of the late 90's. Things are clicking fairly well right now but I agree, it won't last forever with the workload the Wagon line have ( I ain't gonna start calling them the huge Grenade Jumpers, that's just lame).
Problem is that we have 3 RW that are not great defensively, perhaps if we end up moving one of them ( eberle?) they can reduce the sheltered zone starts to one line.

I may be jumping the gun but with arco being good at face offs and continual improvement in yaks d game, maybe they can take a some of these. |

What about putting LD on the LW with Gordon at C in the d-zones for sheltered learning? Then again, this would be something great to do in TC/pre-season. |

Might cause too much confusion if Gordon has to immediately leave and leon has to switch positions mid shift. Or do you mean leon play LW all shift? |

Have him play LW all shift. Just have him do it every once in a while, for some exposure. |

My favorite nickname for that little guy - ChetManly
How about Hopper, Hoppie, Hops, rather than Nuge |

Give it up already man. You are a horrible blogger that writes pointless drivel. The only thing missing from this steaming pile of crap was one of your brutal back stories.

I like Nugie. Although, that makes me sound girly when naming a hamster. |

Grabs is actually a pretty decent two-way prescence. At least as good as Arco and bigger.
I agree with what you say, other than the fact that some of those 90s teams had essentially an enforcer line and I don't see any room for that anymore.
Teddy Purcell has played LW before I believe. Perron can certainly play RW. What if you had
Purcell-Draisaitl-Yak as your sheltered line
Hendricks-Gordon-Joensuu as your primary shutdown line
Pouliot-Arco-Perron as a secondary shutdown option
I'm getting increasingly comfortable sending the top line out in most any situation |

Might be an idea to do that with Yak too and shift Joensuu up to reward him every once and a while for his scoring. |

Yes. And it's not a knock against LD or Yakupov for "bad play" at all, it's to ease them into tough zone starts and responsibilities. Plus, Joensuu definitely deserves a reward for his play. If he stays steady like this all season and stays healthy, his signing last year will be worthwhile. |
