Une sélection:
"Hynes affirme qu’une grande partie du camp d’entraînement consistera à expérimenter des combinaisons de lignes dans le but d’équilibrer l’intersaison.
En d’autres termes, même si la ligne Kaprizov-Eriksson Ek-Boldy a été dominante pendant une grande partie de la saison dernière après que Hynes ait pris la décision de séparer Kaprizov et Zuccarello, il y a fort à parier que nous verrons Kaprizov et Zuccarello réunis pendant certaines parties du camp. Zuccarello s’est considérablement asséché loin de Kaprizov, alors peut-être que nous verrons une ligne Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello réunie et un ailier différent avec Eriksson Ek et Boldy. Peut-être que Johansson finira par y revenir. Peut-être que Liam Ohgren le fera. Qui sait ? C’est prématuré, mais si cela se produit, peut-être que cette ligne potentiellement meurtrière Trenin-Hartman-Foligno ressemblera plus à Trenin-Marco Rossi-Foligno."
Expérimenter des combinaisons de lignes au camp d’entraînement ? Cela peut être une bonne idée ? (Vous vous souvenez du premier camp d’entraînement de Rossi où Dean avait opté pour une deuxième ligne composée de Boldy-Steel-Gaudreau avant même qu’ils n’aient joué un seul match de pré-saison) INCONCEPTIONNABLE !
Je n’aime pas l’idée que Rossi centre Foligno et Trenin, mais je ne la déteste pas non plus. Il pourrait y avoir une certaine valeur dans un joueur aux talents changeants qui se nourrit du chaos que les grands garçons apportent.

Rossi and Foligno had success early last season. They managed to score a few greasy goals (Rossi’s influence) while staying a shutdown line. I’m not against it. As for Zuccarello, if he can do anything, it is assist goals. I’m not too fond of him being with Kaprizov again though. They are way too pass happy with each other.
What I’m wondering is if they are going to have Hartman with Kap in spots, why push Rossi to line 3? You would think Rossi and Zuccarello/Boldy on wing with Ek in the center would probably be a damn good setup too. Zuccarello is all assists, but Rossi and Ek are pretty good at scoring for themselves. I don’t know if you have to push Rossi down to 3 to cut his scoring potential with Trenin and Foligno. It might be Rossi just has no experience at wing, so they just won’t do it.
I can’t say Rossi with some combination of our grinders has me very excited, but at least maybe it will keep his AAV lower on the next contract ha.
Is it a sunk cost fallacy to try Zucc with Kap again to get something out of him?
It would be amazing if one of the rookies could make the team and contribute, but even then – do they play in the top 6 (big ask) or would we expect Rossi to carry a line with a Foligno/Trenin/? + said rookie?
Mojo’s getting dropped in somewhere and I don’t like that fit.
While BG has made good trades, which of his draft picks have exceeded expectations? We need young talent acquired in the draft to step up, not old vets who would do well just to maintain last years level of play. The more I look at this roster, the more I realize we are severely lacking in quality young talent. Yeah….prospect pool is great. We have been saying that for years but when will that great prospect pool create great players? Starting to think those that rank prospect pools may not always know what they are talking about…..go figure.
It seems like there’s always talk about tinkering with lines/d pairings in the offseason, all I can think is; Do we REALLY think we’re talented/deep enough to get away from the only thing the was working before? I’m of the opinion that you do what worked best last year from the get go, and depending on how you start, THEN you can tinker. We’re nearly 3 months removed from hockey, this seems like the worst time to try to evaluate how to play your team.
I would be fine if the line combos were:
Kap – Ek – Zuccy
Boldy – Rossi – Ohgren
Foligno – Hartman – Trenin
Johanson? – Khus? – Freddy G.?
Zuccy suffered when there wasn’t a shooter on his line, and same with Rossi. Ek adds some size to the first line and so does Ohgren. Then you have pure shutdown line that should be a nightmare to play against.
4th line I’m not sure about. Khus should that he had some talent last year but there isn’t anyone here that I love.
i think kaprizov/rossi/zuccarello could have some potential as our top line with the oghren (or johansson)/erikson ek/boldy and trenin/hartman/foligno line as 2 and 3 with a 4th line centered by the piss missile himself
