shrader Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 So Frolik's your odd man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I like Lazar with Skinner and Simmonds better than Mojo, as long as they can get the puck into the offensive zone. Lazar and Simmonds at least have the potential to create the havoc Jeff can feast off. Jeff and Mojo have no chemistry at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, find it interesting that Krueger still is primarily looking to keep Skinner not just separate from Eichel but also Johansson. Yes, Jeff was on Marcus' line last night, but Sheary was playing in his spot prior to getting traded. Ralph reeeeaaaaaly seems to dislike Jeff's defensive game as he always puts him with whomever is the most responsible defensive C he has available not named Larsson (and he even had those 2 together a couple of games). 3 minutes ago, dudacek said: I like Lazar with Skinner and Simmonds better than Mojo, as long as they can get the puck into the offensive zone.

Wonder what happened to spoil that early chemistry? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 When Kahun doesn’t score with those two, how long before he is labeled a bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckinFL Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart Skinner-Lazar-Simmonds Kahun-Johansson-Vesey Girgensons-Larsson-Okposo That's not an outstanding middle six, but they are definitely far more threatening for the opposition and should take a bit of pressure off line 1 and open up scoring significantly. That's a good enough forward group to get you into the playoffs if they gel. I'm excited for Vegas, especially after last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo's strength is transition, and it's really fallen off - and Skinner, by himself, is useless in transition. So their chemistry has evaporated as Mojo doesn't do much in the offensive zone that would give Skinner his characteristic netfront chances IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Johansson has been a shell of himself most if the season. But not sure if that is due to injury or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't disagree with this, but I'm tired of the excuses Skinner keeps getting made for him. Just put Skinner here, just give him this guy to play with there, etc etc, like he's been any good at all. Skinner this season, has been one of the worst players on the roster, and it's him bringing down his linemates rather than the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of the post you just quoted contradicts any of that? You quoted a post at the tail end of a conversation discussing Johansson and Skinner not playing much together lately and speculating/ asking why that might be.

He wasn't already called a bust? I'm kind of disappointed. I would have expected that as the number 2 post in the trade thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more Lazar level center on that 3rd line would push MarJo to wing and that line would be the best 3rd line we've had in a decade.
