3putt Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Well I don't see that line up at all. No identity to those line combos. Eichel needs speed and offensive skill with him to play to his full potential. Eichel's a shooter first. He is Hull, he needs his Oates. We don't really have that guy but I'd match him with the best speed we have until we get that guy. Try Pominville and Nylander, probably won't work (one too old, one too young and soft) so you end up with Kane and Reinhart for now. Okposo, if he is healthy now (?), with ROR and ??? Pouliot, Girgensens, and ? Rodrigues/Pominville might make a good 3rd line Deslaurier, Larsson, Fasching might be an interesting 4th. Gonna miss Foligno for that line but I'm sure we will find an equivalent eventually but that line has to have grit and more toughness. So many holes its hard to make a real line up. Just hoping some young guys will step up. Bottom line, if Moulson makes the starting line up you can kiss the season goodbye. Eichel is a pass first player. He shoots when he is on his own or ahead of the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I would not be opposed to trying Zemgus with Jack as the grit guy and then give Jack another player with speed who can score. brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Jones Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Guess he is always ahead of the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Eichel is a pass first player. He shoots when he is on his own or ahead of the play., he had 249 shots in 61 games last year. O'Reilly, 189 in more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Guess he is always ahead of the play. He usually is. Especially in transition. At ES he defers to his teammates more than he should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 ######, he had 249 shots in 61 games last year. O'Reilly, 189 in more games. He's definitely not opposed to pulling the trigger if the passing lane isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Jones Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Nobody to pass to. Best shot on the team though imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
