The Mother-fucking goddamn Off-season Thread

[Wayward DP]

fuck I hope old man Gio still has some gas left in the tank

 

[zeke]

With this part, he mentioned that Jarnkrok is just in a different group than Tavares and Knies and I believe different than the Nylander line as well, so he can't be on those lines to start. And he's definitely not on the Matthews line. So I sorta buy that bit.

I mean he was on Matthews line quite a bit last year, including playoffs.

Maybe if Keefe doesn't feed him 78GP this season

 

[Preston]

But then that would mean Marner or Bertuzzi would be on the 4th line. Between those 3 it's Jarnkrok on the 4th line IMO.

But Mirtle was wrong anyway.

ok so then based on his and that luke guy's tweets i think we know that the two groups include:

Group 1: Matthews Marner Bertuzzi Tavares Knies Lafferty
Group 2: Nylander Domi Jarnkrok Kampf Reaves Robertson Gregor

so we can try and guess our own lines now.

 

[zeke]

Could be all sorts of things, including:

Knies --- Matthews --- Bertuzzi
Lafferty --- Tavares --- Marner

Domi --- Nylander --- Jarnkrok
Gregor --- Kampf ---Reaves
Robertson​

 

[Wayward DP]

when do we need to be cap compliant by?

surprised the media hasn't been running with this, considering this time we actually are capped out.

 

[WellPlayed]

Could be all sorts of things, including:

Knies --- Matthews --- Bertuzzi
Lafferty --- Tavares --- Marner

Domi --- Nylander --- Jarnkrok
Gregor --- Kampf ---Reaves
Robertson​

That first line could be sexy. I feel like a couple big guys with skill but who keep it simple might be a better fit for Papi than a guy like Marner, or at minimum is ideal if you want to have Marner drive his own line.

Oct 10?

And thought I heard you'd be fine with a 21 player roster.

 

[leafman101]

Keefe basically tries everything over the course of the season.

 

[Preston]

Could be all sorts of things, including:

Knies --- Matthews --- Bertuzzi
Lafferty --- Tavares --- Marner

Domi --- Nylander --- Jarnkrok
Gregor --- Kampf ---Reaves
Robertson​

On second (or third?) thought, I think Gregor is with Tavares, not Lafferty. They didn't give a guy with some offensive skills a PTO to bury him on the 4th line with two black holes. Granted, it's likely where he plays if he makes the team but I bet they give him a shot higher up in the lineup. Both Keefe and Tre mentioned him a lot today as a guy that is going to get a real opportunity.

 

[Hoss]

Could be all sorts of things, including:

Knies --- Matthews --- Bertuzzi
Lafferty --- Tavares --- Marner

Domi --- Nylander --- Jarnkrok
Gregor --- Kampf ---Reaves
Robertson​

I'd like to see Domi on line 2 with Marner

Maybe even JT as wing.. I also don't see a fit for Laff unless on line 3 or 4

Or this

Domi Matthews Bertuzzi
Knies Tavares Marner
Jarnkrok Nylander Holmberg (super swede line)
Gregor/Laff Kampf Reaves.

Hmmmm, interesting. Do you recall where you heard this?

 

[zeke]

dis is gud

 

[MindzEye]

Bergeron retiring and Auston getting PK minutes are the last two hurdles for a Matthews Selke

 

[Jeremy]

Would love to see Matthews and Marner both in the running for Selke.

 

[zeke]

[zeke]

it does look like based on the groups Lafferty is getting a top 9 slot unfortunately.

 

[BG]

Has to be either a place-holder, or he's getting a plum spot in camp to pump up his trade value.
