<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div><i>I see the lines differently

Grigo Mack Dutch - the 3 of them have worked well together in the past, and I think its the most dangerous top line the team can assemble this year.
Landy Soderberg Rantanen - This line will happen again as its the ideal Roy line to cycle down low, grinding out offensive zone time.
Comeau Colborne Iggy - Iggy needs to have less 5v5 minutes to be effective throughout the season, let him play on the ex Flames line as there is some familiarity with the 3 of them at times.
McLeod Mitchell Martinsen - 4th line will just do its thing as they have done all last season.</i></div></div>

+1 Ive done 3 or 4 of these and previously had the line combos with Grigs on the first line LW and Rantanen on the 2nd line RW (similar to you).

Unfortunately I think Colborne MAY change the thought process of whether or not Rantanen is ready for 2nd line minutes or not (kid only has less than 10 NHL games worth of experience). I have no issue with him starting the season on the second line RW but lets say he gets overwhelmed (which is VERY possible), Colborne can swap spots with Rantanen easily.

As for Iggy, tough to say whats best with him. His game is declining and his price tag is high. Options are:
A) 1st line RW and hope that you get some of your moneys worth
B) 3rd line RW where he wont show as many flaws, but you will never truly get your moneys worth out of him at those limited minutes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jacketsman61</b></div><div><i>Hartnell gets 40 to 50 points every season. He maybe getting older but certainly doesn't play like it. The only reason the Jackets want to trade him is for cap room. We are still a year or two away from being a serious contender. Hartnell deserves to be on a contender. He could really help a contender. For actual GM's, like I stated, the problem is the NMC. See you are the stupid fans that look directly at age and immediately write them off. You understand nothing about hockey.</i></div></div>

Looking at points put up this past season.
Forwards only (Hartnell is a F btw)
of the top 55 point producers only 3 were 35+ in age (Sedin, Thorton, Jagr - all NHL HoF players).
Its a young mans game, and you should educate yourself that age DOES matter (especially an age of 35 with a brutal contract)

consider yourself roasted.

Sorry Jackets, but Hartnell + your junk isn't getting you Rantanen AND Barrie. No matter how good you think Hartnell is, his contract, NMC and age is an albatross. You'll be lucky to get a 2nd for him. Retain on his contract at 25-50% and maybe the Jackets get a decent piece for it. Nothing on the levels of a Rantanen or Barrie, and nevermind them both.

Like Marco said in the other thread, this is probably an Eklund rumor...Or one he saw on twitter from one of the million BS "insiders" who claim they have sources around the league, but the only source they have is their ass when they fart.

If it looks like ****, smells like ****, and tastes like ****...It's ****. These rumors are ****. Move along, Jacket. <strong>NO ONE WANTS HARTNELL</strong>.</i></div></div>
