Isn’t Guentzel supposed to get back in June?

At the earliest May iirc

Can’t scratch Blueger even though he stinks at faceoffs. They will need the ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line to shut top players down in the playoffs.

Zucker - Crosby - Guentzel
Simon - Malkin - Rust
Marleau - McCann - Hornqvist
Aston-Reese - Blueger - Tanev

Zucker - Crosby - Guentzel. (This line will be one of the top lines in the NHL)
Marleau - Malkin - Rust (Marleau is creating space for Malkin and it's working)
Rodriguez - McCann - Hornqvist (I like the components of this line)
Aston-Reese - Blueger - Tanev (TERRIFIC LINE and when it was together we were winning games)

oh so i was close?

jake probably won't be back. but if he is.

Jake Malkin Rust
Zucker Crosby McCann
Rodriguez Bjugstad Hornqvist
ZAR Blueger Tanev.

I think that's their best 12

i agree with jake being highly questionable but simon has to be in there somewhere, not because he can score but he does control the puck and sid loves him. bjudstad is done

To my knowledge, McCann can’t play the right side.
Unfortunately Simon will probably be in there unless Sheary supplants him as the “Crosby RW”.

16-87-18/43
59-71-17
12/9-19-72
46-53-13

Bjugstad shouldn’t play even if healthy. He hasn’t been great in the few games he’s played.

zucker can play the right side though.
Bjugstad is the 3rd best center on the team. He just got back from injury. He played hurt all last year. And he brings some size to the team.
Sheary is a waste of space, Simon is no threat at all on the ice. Besides, Jugs is there to win face offs. Which is something the team desperately needs.
