Romanov should start on D ahead of Kulak (who could play 7th depth role)

Lol KK not being on the PP is a true joke. Plus, if we draft Laf, Domi quit for a young dmen.

Don’t piss off your star!!!
Play him 2nd line and first pp unit. Kk needs confidence so at least 2nd unit

He should play on the 2nd line. I totally agree with playing KK on at least the 2nd unit. If we stick him any lower he will lose confidence and will either take a while to gain it back or he will just fall apart. I would hate for him to turn out as a bust due to Montreal mismanaging him.

There's just one problem playing KK on the second line. Do you place Suzuki on the 3rd. It will be the same problem all over again. I don't think we can switch them to the wing, since we acquired them to play center. Unless we trade Danault... (it's a bad idea for him and for the team to play him 3rd line.)

2nd PP unit. But I think we either move Suzuki to wing or run a 1 / 2A / 2B Line system.

True. Giving around 18min to each line could be a great idea, with 6-7min for the 4th line or something like that. I would sincerely be upset if we move Suzuki to the wing.

Domi must play the wing. Suzuki and kk will be a good 1-2 punch in a couple of years. Let them figure it out a centre and if domi is lost on the wing you trade him, if he excels cool give him some money

Good point facts

I feel that, but the whole point was to assemble the team sans trades. I'd love to get KK in the PP, where would you slot him in?

You'd slot KK above Suzuki after the they both just put up?

If we got Lafrenière,
Lafrenière left side kk right side Weber and drouin at the point and danault “below” the goal line.
Second unit is
Tatar left side Suzuki right side Romanov and Kovalchuk at the point and domi below the goal line

Second or first pp unit.

Gally instead of Danault and were good

Need danault for face offs. Don’t think kk is ready for that yet

Then instead of Kovy... Theres no way Gally isnt on the pp next year

If you want him that badly I’d replace domi.

Tbh, I cant see Domi on the roster if we get Laf... MB will try to acquire a solid LHD for him.

Hold on imma need some tissues

Fully agreed, I knew that would be a discussion point even stating "no trades" haha. Goes to show how stacked this roster could be with young talent and one key piece added.
