Just concerned how we have a need for a scoring winger to play with Domi; a hole that Lehkonen and Armia cannot fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Drouin-Domi-Armia line was doing pretty well -- although Drouin and Armia were generating most of the scoring. But that line got broken up first because of Tatar's demotion, and then Drouin got injured. Armia is tied with Gallagher at 10 goals each at the moment ...

I would like to have something like this, once Drouin returns: tatar-dabault-gallagher drouin-domi-(rw-scorer-with-mean-streak) lehkonen-kotkaniemi-armia (lw-filler-aka-cousins)-thompson-(rw-filler-aka-weal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you go through the lineup is is really hard to fit an addition to the forwards without sacrificing a core piece. The more I look at this, the more Tatar, Byron and the bottom trio are the only ones were we can upgrade without touching the fan favourites (like the PK trade was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I just don't see the FWs as the problem. We've got a Hawaii-sized crater on the left half of the D, so we go out and get a forward? I agree that that sounds like a quintessential Bergevin move, but it's not what a competent GM would do IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're panicking because a 20 year old prospect ( mete) who would be bottom pair on a deep team, gets hurt, you got some splaining to do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were panicking before the Mete injury, but you are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
