Those would be my lines

Pacioretty-Gomez-Gionta
Moen-Plekanec-Cole
Desharnais-Eller-Kostitsyn
Darche-Engqvist-Palushaj

agree, JM put Moen with Pleks when he could have put Andrei in the Winnipeg game

[Ravenscar]

I would personally love to see

Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gionta
Kostitsyn-Gomez-Cole
Desharnais-Eller-Moen
Darche-Engqvist-Palushaj

Gill-Gorges
Emelin-Subban
Diaz-Weber

Welcome to the forums

Personally I'd love to see Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gionta or Pacioretty-Plekanec-Cole because I know how dominant those players can be. They're all hard working players who have speed, skill, and Gionta at least plays big.

The problem I see with Pacioretty-Plekanec-Gionta is actually Kostitsyn-Gomez-Cole

I think Gomez is going to have a come back year but he will rely heavily on Gionta and player X (probably Cole) to put up points. He's a pure playmaker. That having been said I think a Cole-Gomez-Gionta line would be phenomenal. Gomez would use his speed and passing abilities to feed Cole goals all the time. I think he needs Gionta though because they already have great chemistry together, it was always the 3rd man that was the problem. With a dangerous threat on each side of him Gomez will have all the tools to succeed.

Putting Kostitsyn with Gomez to me is almost a death sentence. They're probably the two least consistent top 6 forwards we have. We need to learn from our mistakes and insulate those guys with consistent players if possible. This way when they slump those other 2 players carry them and keep them going. Plekanec and Gio to me are guys who can carry their line given the proper circumstances. (i.e. not 4th line plugs on their line) but I think Gomez and Kostitsyn need to be split up they're a bad fit.

If we go Cole-Gomez-Gionta then we can do Cammy-Plek-Kostitsyn (original trio that worked well) or even Cammy-Plek-Desharnais/Palushaj, for once we can give a young player a real chance to develop with quality wingers. A guy like Desharnais may be ready for the challenge. Plus we could always have a Moen-Eller-Darche type line. I mean really Pacioretty is just the icing on the cake. Guy is going to be a monster no matter who you put him with this year imo.

I would honestly like that line to stick together. They played really well last game, and I think are ready to put up multi-point games.

I'd like to see Martin try it at some point during a game, just to see if the chemistry there can translate to the NHL.

When Cammy comes back I would like to see the line up look like:

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gionta
Cammalleri - Gomez - Cole
Desharnais - Eller - Kostitsyn
Moen - Engqvist - Darche

When Pacioretty, Plekanec, and Gionta played together last year, I thought they were the best line we had. The Gomez line would be an experiment, but may work out.

I understand why Eller is being put on the wing for his first game, its been a while since he last played. But I hope he's back at center soon.

For the defence next game I'd like to see:

Emelin - Subban
Gorges - Diaz
Gill - Weber

(order is not particular) Subban and Gorges would play the most, followed by Gill. This way everyone is on their natural side and each of the 3 inexperienced players play with a regular.

I think Cammy will be back before him. At least I haven't heard any updates lately. Any timeline for him?

What's it from ?

I would have preferred Blunden for bottom 6, but gotta give Palushaj more time to see if he's worthy. I believe he has to pass through waivers next season ?

Moen and Darche play hard but have no top 6 talent, yet they play on the top 6 and get PP time.

ONLY MARTIN!

You give the guy you pay $4.5 million a year EVERY chance to succeed, not giving Cole opportunities to succeed on the PP.

ONLY MARTIN!

No energy line that can help turn the tide of a game, no toughness when someone drives Price into the net.

ONLY MARTIN!

Darche is not in the top-6 and he had one of the best (if not the best) PP production rates on our team last year. His spot is warranted, for now.

The one year that Pac was at Michigan he was on the top line with Poter and Kolarik all season.
