Question, idk how line shifts work. Is it when Sids on the ice Letang is? I just dont know how the whole JJ thing comes about, hockey seems to be played so quick how does Sid get certain defenders and Malkin gets the shaft?
I believe the 3rd line with Tanev-Bjugstad-Hornquist would be one hell of a line to play against. I'd roll with that line and try and package Rust with JJ.

Most teams match their top defenders against the other teams top line. Sully also like putting Sid out against other teams top line.

Rust is a hard one to gauge. He sometimes looks unstoppable out on the ice and does come through in the clutch. I would almost rather us trade JJ and ZAR and let Riikola be on the 3rd pairing. I think Rust and Tanev will let us run 2 PK lines with potential to score Short handed goals.

Rust came through one time in the clutch lol, the rest of his playoffs are pedestrian as (frank). He’s a good player but let’s not make him out to be Justin Williams 2.0.

Definitely.

Lets hope Teddy can live up to half of what people around here think he's capable of.

Good price. I projected him at $850K.

From an offensive output perspective.. 10 points in 28 games with 4th line and PK minutes mostly... sounds like a great building block.

I'm all for it. I hope he kills it.

I’d rather trade Rust attached to Jacko than Bjugstad tbh. I like how he can play C and Wing just as good. He has that Staal thing to him. Can play good defensively.

That said I’d rather see Hörnqvist’s contract go with Jacko before Rust or Bjugstad but it’s VERY unlikely.

Bjugstad is a joke compared to Staal.

Definitely.

I think he's a very smart player who can slot around the lineup and fit on any line. Love having someone like that in the bottom 6. I remember he received 2nd line duties for a little stretch last season and didnt look out of place at all.
