I’d definitely keep Barzal and drouin separated, because it’ll be a pass happy fest with little shooting
Forwards:
Lee – Horvat – Barzal
Drouin – Pageau – Holmstrom
Duclair – Ritchie – Palmieri
Heineman – Cizikas – Shabanov/Tsyplakov
Engvall, Shabanov/Tsyplakov
Defensemen:
Pelech – Pulock
Romanov – DeAngelo
Schaefer – Mayfield
Bear
Drouin Barzal Shabanov
Lee Horvat Palmieri
Duke Pageau Holmes
Hiney CC Sippy
So glad I don’t see Fasching or MacLean in anyone’s list. Couldn’t watch those two another season
Surprised how many people seem to think Ritchie is starting in Bridgeport
This camp is going to be interesting because honestly, I could see multiple combinations working.
I think Duclair has the most to prove. Do you really want to be here? He might show a little more initiative with his spot not so guaranteed.
im preparing for a looooooonnnggg season lol
Engvall and duclair to the moon
I think we’re very forward heavy and might need to make a trade.
This is actually a legitimately solid and deep offense if they can stay healthy this year and Shabanov isn’t a dud.
It’s bizarre to me how dead-set so many of you are to get rid of Duclair. The number one complaint I’ve been hearing about this team for years was we need to add more guys who can score goals and we’re gonna jettison a guy who averages over 20 goals a year for his career because of a bad year where he got hurt 5 games into the season? It’s not like we can massively upgrade the team if we move out his salary. Why should we not just be hoping that he bounces back and can be the ~25 goal winger we were hoping for?
They gotta offload Duke now
No Marc Gatcomb 😢
They have to try heineman-pageau-holmstrom
Would be our new identity line
Swap Duclair and Tsyp
That line was cooking at the end of season
Add Eiserman ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
Am I the only that thinks Lee probably ends up on the third line? Clearly a push towards youth and Holmstrom had a great year last year. Lee did too but is pushing 35 and Darche is looking to the future.
Duclaire is an interesting one for me. Im still curious what happens with him. Does he stay, do we waive him, do we buy him out. Im curious what his status is given how last season ended between us and him
It’s crazy to me how many people still see Anders Lee as a top 6 guy. I think he’d be a great F3/mentor playing with faster, younger guys.
Drouin – Horvat – Shabanov
Duclair – Barzal – Palmieri
Lee – Ritchie – Holmstrom
MacLean – Cizikas – Pageau
Tsyplakov as your 7th
Can someone take Mayfield please!? Guy is ass!
Why not?
Lee – Horvat – Palmieri
Duclair – Barzal – Shabonov
Drouin – Ritchie – Holmstrom
Heineman – Pageau – Cizikas
Tsyplikov
Romanov – George
Schaefer – Pulock
Pelech – DeAngelo
Mayfield
If Darche manages to unload Pageau, Cizikas moves back to C and Tsyp moves to 4th wing, and Engvall is the scratch. Hopefully he grabs a RHD.
I’m a little surprised duclair is still here. Thought Isles might eat some contract and trade him on draft night
Lee-Barzal-Holmstrom
Drouin-Horvat-Palmieri
Tysplakov-JGP-Shabanov
Hieneman-Cizikas-Gatcomb/Duclair?
Pelech-Pulock
Romanov-Boquist
Schaefer/George-TDA/Mayfield
I predict a trade of a W for depth LD. Isles will likely get a shot at some competition when waivers hit. Foolish to go for a Gavrikov. I prob woulda kept Reilly. But as is, Duclair appears to be an oddman out.
The top 9-11 is quite good. Heineman is an excellent defensive player. The 3rd line should feast on the weaker competition however it shakes out. Shabanov imho should run his own line. JGP is a grreat give n go guy. The size is concerning, but Tsypy has powerelements and should be a good linemate 5on5 for Shabanov.
One could easily swap JGP for Barzal, and still have a pretty good (if more typical) 3rd line.

4th line looking solid
Duclair will be on a short leash.
