would like to give him a chance but certainly not with Poitras and Marchand. That line will get bullied around on the ice. Just too small
Would like to see
JVR - Zacha - Pasta -
Marchand - Potsy - Debrusk - they seem to compliment each other well, JDB played best in this line
Lysell - Coyle - Freddy - He's good on his off wing, has a wicked shot, and player like Freddy/Coyle can cover all his D-zone deficiency and the confidence to play to his strengths

Could make a case either way, but I'd let him crush it for another 10-15 games and then consider it. With Lauko's return, they will have 12 forwards and four lines that should work + after tonight, they only have one game until next Saturday.



Frederic would play on the LW in this case.

good point, never took schedule in to consideration. I'd definitely like to see him one way or another this year though for sure

Reality is they need to continue to build Lysell’s confidence. I’m fine for them letting him cook In the AHL. When he’s ready, putting him with Coyle and Frederic makes sense
