it’s called the i’m desperate for a goal and we are using who are really good at doing that.

its called the Tampa Bay "Put Your Elite Center On LW" Special.

If i were TO id try to spread some of the talent around a bit more, that bottom six is a total pushover.

I know but for Tampa Stamkos plays with Cirelli and Kucherov with Point. This bottom 9 is atrocious

Stamkos played a large portion of the year with Point and Kucherov

shortened bench if theyre down a goal and id really like
Mikheyev-Nylander-Hyman as the 2nd line, has scoring ability but also tough to face. get a goal and not have to worry about the bottom 6 but having kerfy kapanen as the 3rd line isnt shabby either. gonna be a fun series and a game of chess

I would do the 1st line like this against 1st line heavy teams like BOSTON , EDMONTON if they put Draisaitl on with Mcdavid,
If we do it this way, every line should have its role, so Hyman as shutdown centre? hes played centre and will get help from smart players like Mikheyev.. they can cycle and tire out the other teams 2nd line.
Nylander and Kerfoot have chemistry and Kerfoot was better as 2nd line winger for COL. and can help Nylander on the Left Right faceoffs like he does with MAtthews.

1st line matchup - JT - Matthews - Marner
Taking on lower competition - if Hymans line is on shutdown role - Kerfoot - Nylander - Kapanen
Defensive shutdown line- Engvall - Hyman - Mikheyev -
4th - Clifford - Spezza - Gauthier
