Here's his ticket.

Honestly creating this with microsoft paint took me a f*cking hour.

Really committing myself to a joke.


That’s impressive. That looks nice.

Crookshank and Motte were so solid.

I’d go:

Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson
Debrincat-Stutzle-Giroux
Motte-Pinto-Joseph
Crookshank-Kastelic-Kelly

Chabot-Zub
Sanderson-Hamonic
Holden-Thomson/JBD

Forsberg
Talbot

Yeah Crookshank was great in rookie camp and excellent tonight. Definitely a bright spot so far. He’ll need to keep it up, but I hope they give him a few games at the start of the year, I think he’s earned it. I wouldn’t even hate to see him on the 3rd line with some more talented offensive players, Pinto and Joseph can handle themselves defensively and are probably better linemates than guys like Gambrell, Watson, Kelly, etc. would be for a more talented player like Crookshank. I just really don’t want to see Gambrell in the lineup lol. Kastelic is my guy for that 4C job (and has been for ages) but even Brassard would be better than Gambrell imo. Motte did look good too, hopefully he’s an acceptable fill-in for Formenton in the short term and can then elevate our 4th line later.

The D is the big issue for sure. I’d love to see Thomson earn the 3RD job. Zaitsev is so bad lol

How did Sanderson and the DeBrincat-Stutzle-Giroux line look this morning? I saw the Stutzle goal, but I could only watch the 3rd period of the second game (comeback szn ez, Crookshank and Kastelic coming in clutch 💪)

Right. Their best player in that game was Jake DeBrusk

The Stutzle line was off chemistry wise. Miscommunication led to a Toronto goal. They need to know where to find each other . It’ll take time.

Sanderson didn’t carry the puck too much but had a pretty active stick and played the body well. He was pretty noticeable out there in a good way

I was wondering if Tkachuk-Stutzle-Giroux would actually be a better fit and DeBrincat-Norris-Batherson

The Debrincat- STutzle, Giroux line just need time of those players are new to the team and Stutzle is really young.
They'll find chemistry

Understood but putting a power forward with size on Stutzle and Giroux's line was my motivation. A line of Tkachuk-Norris-Batherson monopolized all those guys and leaves the 2nd line with all the small guys.

Ngl it looks like being an Isles player in general will magically make you look like 5-15 years older than you actually are

Man, IDK what possessed Dubas at that trade deadline to spend nearly an entire drafts worth of selections on mediocre or worse rentals, but I was f*cking pissed.
