L1- This is my all sits go up against any line any time match up. A great passer, the best scorer, and the best power forward in the game. Matthews n Tkachuk are any teams primary scoring, G is secondary.
L2- This is more of a pure skill line. This tough to match up against their speed w other teams L2or3. Connor is a primary scorer, kyrou is secondary, Thompson is a tweener.
L3- This line is a youthful skill line that will be used when the advantage is in their favor. Soaking up easy minutes against lesser competition. Play w skill/speed/offense
L4- Many different options as far as personal. But the goal for this line is to eat tough minutes, be an absolute pain to play against, help kill penalties and play defense. Play w grit/speed/defense
1st PAIR- Like L1 this is a top end skill all sits pair. They have the size, skating, and skill to match up and shut down in all areas of the ice.
2nd PAIR- This is a balanced pair. 1 half is almost all defense the other is mostly offensive. Both skate well and transition, keeping w the teams identity.
3rd PAIR- Another balanced pair, 1 def/ 1 off. But with a size and gritty D and a smaller skilled skating D
Bench- Has a good balance of extra size or speed. Good defensive options that can help if needed, when inserted into the lineup.
Goaltending- 2 solid options. Both good positionally w size. So they aren't going to be asked to do too much, as the offense will give goal support and the defense will make things easy enough on them. That way this team should win any 4 out of 7 game series
[Wright would be forced in as much as possible. But would swap in Glendening as he struggles]
