Sujet: what i think the lines should be
Personally I think these should be the lines:

Hyman-McDavid-Foegele
RNH-Drai-Yama
Benson-McLeod-Turris
Archi-Ryan-Kassian

Line 1 plays with speed and Hyman and Foegele are puck hounds and put in tons of work. They will get the puck to McDavid and both can finish his setups
Line 2 has had great chemistry so no need to break it up
Line 3 is super young with Benson and McLeod so Turris provides experience for those two rookies. Benson has tons of potential imo and needs to get at least 3 line minutes to produce. Turris is still a good bottom 6 player and needs to play in the lineup 100%
Line 4 is your vet line that can shut down other teams top lines if necessary. Kassian should be on the ice as little as possible as the Oilers are going for a skilled team, not a goon squad. I know Kassian is very fast and can energize the team but he should be doing that on the 4th line, not the 2nd

The D pairings are going to be terrible no matter how you slice it because Barrie and Ceci are both going to get nearly 20 mins a night. Only good pairing is Russell-Bouchard

Sujet: will the Islanders even make the playoffs
My first problem with this team is that I really don't think it's gonna look like this on opening night. I trust in Lou and I don't think there's any way we don't make a deal for a LD2. Playing Greeneon the second pair is the best way to not make the playoffs and tho Lou and trotz really like "their guys" they aren't dumb. So I don't agree with the premise of this acgm.

As for what teams will make the playoffs, rangers have no RW1, Pittsburgh goaltending is atrocious, the caps defense is extremely thin not to mention unproven in net. The flyers will be good I really like their team but they can finish anywhere from 1 to 7 in the division, that will mostly be based off how hart does. We will get to see if last year was really because of the defense or because of him. The Canes got worse everywhere, forwards, defense, and in net. As for the devils they're not there yet. Would they be a playoff team in the pacific, yeah and maybe in the central, but with so many teams on front of them i just don't see how they jump that many teams.

Sujet: bringing buffalo to the promised land
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Martinmarincin</b></div><div>I am not a Sabres fan so I dont know your prospects very well but Dvorak has been in trade rumours and he could be a good top 6 player. Bogo has said he might wanna go back to the US to be closer to his family and because of covid restrictions in canada. So would be good veteran presence on that blueline and his family lives close to Buffalo.

Why would it be an issie that they are RFAS since there still young enough so they will fit the timeline.
And as I said before i am not a sabres fan but if you say they should part maybe you keep Jokiharju and trade Risto</div></div>

Well the issue is for Adams overall plan of attack as it relates to the RFA's. He is looking to put together players that have a majority of their respective RFA term left. Would he be interested in the players you have traded to him.... OF COURSE but not for his TOP Asset (Eichel)..... I firmly believe that Adams is willing to wait this thing out with Eichel up to the trade deadline to develop a stronger market for Eichel. I do not see Adams trading his TOP ASSET away without getting the team he is trading with top prospect. I know Ranger Fan says NO Kappo or LaFreniere and all I say to that is then no Eichel. Pretty simple.... Adams not trading Jack and letting Jack play out his current contract is not a bad thing for Adams.

As I stated in my first post I love the Dvorak kid but I just do not see Arizona moving him even if there is rumors..... I think the Yotes and Sabres are in the same sport having to start another full rebuild therefore they do not make great trade partners.

GM Adams play is too build around Cozens, Dahlin, Henry, Quinn, Mittelstadt &amp; Eklund (when he goes #1).

Sujet: what the leafs could look like if they went 7-3-1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GenXHockey</b></div><div>That 60-70 point guy is a bit of a stretch. Nylander was barely that with Matthews.


Listen I like mccaan but he is no superstar. He was traded by a team that wasn’t protecting him to a team that isn’t protecting him. This is your first clue.

Would I like to keep him fit the middle 6? Sure, but not at the cost of our top 4.</div></div>

McCann was on pace for 61 pts this year, on pace for 26 goals. I’m sure his production may have slowed in a full 82. But he wasn’t playing with someone like matthews or marner. He could definitely be a 60+ pt guy. If you go 7-3-1, you lose one of Holl/Kerfoot/Dermott. Two of the 3 are already exposed. I’m valuing McCann over holl all day long. Just because Pittsburgh didn’t want to protect McCann, doesn’t mean Toronto has to do the same lol.
