Why is AA on the fourth line?

He pisses me off. He needs to learn the system.

not wise to immediately quit on a person. it's been 4 games and each game has had a line shift due to various reasons (injury/suspension returns/leaves). Now that the roster has settled, he also can settle. Give him a few games.

There... His line got bumped to the 3rd line ahhahaahahahh

i wonder how he or ennis would look on 3C. I don't like either Haas or Sheahan on 3C. Though they are good on the fourth line.

Ennis does not play center, but AA does, he can play there, maybe he will feel important

I think they like Haas on center because he is our only right shot

can’t wait till oscar is back

I’d swap Neal for Ennis but other then that I’d agree

Keep in mind he just came from the Red Wings. He probably forgot what a system is.

This. Give Tippett 10-15 games to work with him before making any sort of assessment.

What is the appeal of Neal - McDavid - Kassian for you? They've played together before and haven't had a lot of success.

This is exactly why I want RNH to center the third line. I know that 2nd line has been automatic but it would be so worthwhile to have scoring depth spread throughout the lineup.

There's never a good reason to pull apart the best line in the league.

He can learn on the 3rd or 4th line, not learn while playing the speed of Connor and 22 minutes a night.

Just until AA gets up to speed, playoffs is AA/McDaddy and Kassian for me. Tough hockey needs Kassian

... which is exactly what Tippett has been doing.

I'd rather see Ennis and Kassian with McDavid, TBH.

If we are going that route, i would rather have Archibald against the other teams first line. Kassian and Archie both hit lots and will wear down the other first lines

Archibald - McDavid - Kassian have a really bad track record together though. Small sample size, but still. I look at the way DYNamite compliments each other - despite 3 very different skillsets - and I'd want to find a similar balance to the McDavid line too.
