Dan Wallace: Boudreau Needs to Make Adjustments

I would use three dmen and six forwards for OT and rotate them below.

Line one: Suter Granlund and Niederreter
Line two: Spurgeon, Zucker and Coyle
Line three: Suter, Granlund and Staal

If somebody looks gassed on D, use Dumba but he is capable of brain cramps more than the rest. It is also conceivable to go with three forwards, Granlund, Zucker and Niederreiter

Amen Dan! I agree completely. Excellent write up about how BB seems lost with this team right now. I couldn't understand the lineup he threw out there last night. And although sending JEE and Kunin down to play bigger minutes right now is a good idea, I think that could have been done here. Kunin appeared to be forming some chemistry with Staal earlier this year, and Nino makes everyone he plays with better. So, as a replacement for Parise until he gets back, Kunin should be playing there.

They could then give JEE at least 1 skilled player in Coyle. And Coyle and Foligno appeared to have some chemistry in the pre-season, so see if that clicks. If it does, that would give the Wild 3 lines that should be very good.

Kunin - Staal - Nino
Zucker - Koivu - Granlund
Foligno - JEE - Coyle
Winnik - Cullen - Stewart - Ennis (this line is set according to matchups)

In the best scenario, you have 3 lines to choose from to be the main line on a given night. Which ever line seems to have "it" for the night, gets the most minutes. I must be missing something, because that looks pretty easy to figure out.

As for above, I would make the 3rd line be Kunin, Staal and Brodin.

Id almost say Spurg with line one and three and Suter with line two. Too many times he stays out late in OT and that can cost you in a second. How many times have we seen him and Koivu not change in OT and come back to bite us. Agree with the forwards.

To the Sabres: Foligno and Ennis- for Pominville and Scandella + of course some cap space. Maybe???

The Sabres really took us for a ride with that trade. We'll admit that. But maybe we can get something from that burn? Maybe a few pucks and some medical equipment?

Also, to Vegas: Dumba.
To wild: Haula and Tuch.

Ennis is the absolute epitome of one of the most famous expressions coined by the late great Herb Brooks... "looks like a monkey (frank)ing a football"...
