Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

I’m not comparing any of them as players, other than they are all skilled and were signed for cheap to be depth players and none were bad signings.
 
and tbh spezza had fallen off a while before. he hadn't been near a ppg player since like 8 or 9yrs prior to us signing him. had been 4th line quality offense for a few years prior.

he might be toast from the injury but he wasn't on some long decline like spezza ws.
 
to see what kinds of 4th lines he likes....Berube rosters.....not including deadline additions....

For the playoffs, D A.McDonald was added and Grossman was booted down to co-#7 D with Gustafsson. 23yr old rookie came in on the 3rd line and replacing Downie and booting Lecavalier down to the 4th with Hall and Rinaldo. Not sure if Downie was injured or just benched.

Tre also has a 4th line blueprint, but maybe that was a symptom of Calgary recruiting.
 
The problem with Pacioretty is that the last full season he played was 16-17. if you want to squint a bit we'll call it 19-20.

either way, long fucking time ago

he's not expected to be a key cog though...unlike Chris Tanev...and all of our goalies...

Tre also has a 4th line blueprint, but maybe that was a symptom of Calgary recruiting.

tough to call there.

so far he's added 3 guys clearly pegged for the 4th line - 2 speedy young/youngish guys in dewar and gregor, and one really old goon.

Lorentz would be the 4th guy who would clearly be only a 4th line type but we'll see if he's actually signed or not. And if he's just there if Kampf is traded or not.

Yeah can't see much of an unskilled grit bias for berube when it comes to the 4th lines. Or an age bias.

He seems fine with playing youth and skill on the bottom lines.
 
D pairs for the blues cup run were Bo-Parayko, then Pietro with one of Gunnarsson or Edmundson.

So i could definitely see a McCabe-Tanev shutdown pairing, and then Rielly paired with Hakanpaa.
 
One thing that stands out in Berube's usage: Couturier, Schenn,Laughton, Thomas, Kyrou, Dunn, Blais, Neighbours all got relatively significant playing time at 20-23, and didn't get benched in the playoffs.
