Line Combos: Panthers lineups

[Idiot Stick]

Figure with the break lets have a thread for the lineups, whether they stay the same or we see some change ups before the playoffs.

​

Current lineup per last game:

Tarasenko-Barkov-Reinhart
Verhaeghe-Bennett-Tkachuck
Luostarinen-Lundell-Rodrigues
Cousins-Stenlund-Lomberg

Forsling-Ekblad*(OEL)
Mikkola-Montour
OEL(Mahura)-Kulikov

Id like to see something like this having a bit more even across the top 9.

Rodrigues-Barkov-Reinhart
Verhaeghe-Bennett-Tkachuck
Luostarinen-Lundell-Tarasenko
Okposo-Stenlund-Lomberg

Until "pylon-burger boy" returns all is for not.

My only issue is I don't like Tarasenko playing left wing when he's accustomed to the right side. To me, we are potentially hindering his production.

Ideally, I want to see:

Verhaeghe-Barkov-Reinhart
Tkachuk-Bennett-Tarasenko

As our top six. Tkachuk has a lot more experience at LW than Tarasenko does, he should flip.

yeah, unless in the time to come Maurice is confident he can make it work, i agree.

Im still wondering if its better to spread around the skill on the top 9 or just have two really good top lines.
Tarasenko could help the 3rd line more, but Erod on the 4th line just seems weird.

Goal totals per line in the current setup
1. 82
2. 68
3. 30
4. 20 (bit more if okposo goes there)

I know I sound like a broken record at this point but I really hate Mahura as our go-to option in the event of injury on the back end. He is just not it back there.

i thought he played well when Forsling had a day off a month or two ago.
Our defense also nearly wasnt this bad when Ekblad and Monty were out to start the season neither, just seems like theyre not playing PoMos system and just cruising and its making everyone look bad.

He played in like every game during last year's run to the finals so I'm sure he's fine as a backup option...

 

[batting1k]

I think Mahura is fine. He was great last year. The injury early in the season and then sitting out a ton threw him off

I’m okay with him as a backup to Balinskis

LOL, love the Butcher, but no, not at all.

Josh needs time, and Kulikov needs to trust him a bit more.

Yeah Josh needs like 2 years more

 

[Gentle Man]

Yeah.




I am just saying

 

[Chaos2k7]

Yeah.

Now post both their stats from playing together all of last year.

Gudas having good stats this year doesn't just wrap up the arguement he "carried" Mahura last season.

I would also wager, OEL/Kuli have pretty similar stats this year to the bottom pairing last season, but one false statement at a time here...

Nah I don't care too but you can look on moneypuck to see Mahura's numbers decline and we are a better team this year than last


I've seen you post enough to just say everything is false but never care to do your own leg work and just ask for stats to be posted for you

*wink*

I think the game against Carolina their broadcast said he only played once since November 4th?

He started vs nashville when forsling was out.
Then against tampa when we knocked them 9-2 (somehow a 0 on the +/-)

I’d like to try when healthy:

Erod/Sasha/Vladdy
Swaggy/Benny/Chucky
Lousty/Lundy/Reino
Cuzzy/Tommy/Lombo

Been saying this for a few games now. That gives us the best matchups 5v5 IMO

The ultimate plan to get lundell goin in exchange for completely screwing the chemistry

Rodrigues-Barkov-Reinhart
Cousins-Bennett-Tkachuck
Verhaeghe-Lundell-Tarasenko
Luostarinen-Stenlund-Lomberg

Debating swappin reinhart and tank, but he was on the 3rd line in Ottawa

Not a bad idea and Swaggy’s been slumping a bit too so get them both going?

I'd love that 4th line especially. Maybe switch Reinhart and Tarasenko? The Lundell-Reinhart combonworked sonwell last POs. I like that we also have the option tonswitch Erod with Swaggy, this would look pretty awesome too:

Verhaege-Barkov-Tarasenko
Rodrigues-Lundell-Reinhart
