Sujet: Recommended Lines Against DAL After 7-2 VEG Win
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>As usual you're right Dairy, yet I still like to recommend my own lines to create discussion.

I have to believe most of us are disgruntled that Lucic &amp; Ritchie are in over Pelletier &amp; Duehr, no?

Honestly, I think Sutter is doing it on purpose to send everyone, including the Players, Management and Fans a message

I don't like Huberdeau with Lindy personally, I feel he fits better with Backlund or give Dube a try centering Huby, but Toffoli &amp; Lindholm have been our best forwards, so hard to justify separating or taking them off the Top Line unless they move Kadri there:

Ruzicka/Pelletier-Lindholm-Kadri
Huberdeau-Backlund-Coleman/Toffoli
Mangiapane-Dube-Toffoli/Coleman
Pelletier/Ruzicka-Lewis-Duehr/Ritchie

You could easily switch Huberdeau &amp; Mangiapane in the above line combos to reunite the Mang-Backs-Coleman line whenever we need to switch/shake things up mid-game if we're lacking energy or scoring this way too. Simple changes for less confusion and issues during the game as a result

Pelletier-Lindholm-Kadri is as close to Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk as we can get imo and
Huberdeau-Backlund/Dube-Mangiapane/Toffoli is as close to Huberdeau-Bennett-Duclair/Reinhart as we can get also</div></div>

Oh wow. Lucic is actually scratched tonight.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Wow, Halleluja!

I'm fine with these lines, but DAL has some Big Boys, so I wonder if Gilbert would have been better than Stecher. I know you find Stecher to be the Better Defender

Ruzicka gets some Veterans to shelter him, which is good, but do you think he's an NHL Centre!? I wonder how he'd do at RW personally:

Dube-Kadri-Ruzicka
Ritchie-Lewis-Duehr</div></div>

Didn't Stecher literally fight in the last game. And against a guy much bigger than him too, and he held his ground. I'm not worried. What's important is keeping the puck out of our net, not laying more body checks.

I think Ruzicka is a center in the long run. For a "rookie" he's pretty decent at faceoffs already and I think he will probably be a &gt;50% on average in a year or 2. Plus he's a big framed guy with good speed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>You could upgrade to a 1st and Edmonton still wouldn't do it. They have no use for another left shot AHL defenseman and the 1st won't help them win this year or next. Meanwhile Puljujarvi's on ice impact was top-5 in the entire league last year, he had a positive impact on every single teammate he played with and was on pace to score nearly 70 points before he got COVID and then injured.

Edmonton has at least 4 LHD ahead of Valimaki, maybe 5, he'd be buried in the Oilers organization. Now consider that he's no longer waivers exempt, so if he does have any value they'll lose him to waivers anyhow, so it's not like he'd help their AHL team either.</div></div>
Only LD EDM has that's better than Valimaki is Darnell Nurse. Valimaki would be 2LD and Ryan Murray would be his only competition. Koekkoek, Broberg, Samorukov and Niemelainen are not as good as Valimaki and none of them would be able to make the Flames either. Just cause Valimaki's in the AHL, doesn't mean he's not good, it just means the Flames Defense is Amazing. EDM should definitely be interested in Valimaki AFAIC
