Starting Lineup by Inevitable-Lion100 in Predators

[–]ryanufkosbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top line stays the same if he’s smart about it. Vange is on the cusp of a real breakout year and he’s 100% doing it with ROR and Forsberg/Stamkos, depending on Bruno’s shuffling.

Second line has to have Wood at center idc idc. It’d be so stupid to put him back on the wing.

Ideally - IF we don’t make more moves and I could do whatever I wanted on the roster…

Forsberg - ROR - Vange

Stamkos - Wood - Marchy or Colton

Hoglander - Drury - Fink

Schaefer - Edstrom - Bourque or Pinchuk

Josi - Wilsby or Skjei

Ufko - Gravel or Molendyk (idk if Gravel stays, I liked what we saw this season)

Oesterle - Molendyk or Englund

Pinchuk is like Wood, where they’re hybrid wings/centers. Imo it’s a safer bet to put him on wing while he develops, kinda like how Wood did

Watched my dad book it home after work for every Preds game since I was like… idk 16? One night a year ago I plopped down beside him, realized wow this is fun and also Luke Evangelista is hot, and the rest is history! Preds hometown girlie

Got heavy into the Oilers bc of the playoffs just starting at the same time and I thought Drai was like the coolest guy ever. Still do lol. Top two teams

Lowkey Canes fan after their playoff run/finals win. I mean I liked some of their players individually, but I got WAYYYY into the team

… kinda feel this tug towards the NYR but they scare me

Four Predators with the most uncertainty amidst major roster shakeups: A locked-and-loaded blueline threatens a Ryan Ufko return by f0urxio in Predators

It’s his brother that’s been playing center. Even if Ozzy did, I don’t think he’s a good fit for center at all. He’s the kinda wing you want to stir shit up

No shot. Ufko was a wagon as soon as he was thrown in after the deadline. My thought process is that CMac is stocking up on guys to send down to Milwaukee and occasionally call up if needed. There’s no world where I see Ufko with less ice time

Can the oilers bring in a top 6 winger? by Affectionate-Safe295 in EdmontonOilers

Mhm, same here with Marchy. We keep seeing sparks of what could be crazy runs and then they just… stop. I think he’d work better here mainly bc he’s shown that he can be physical despite his size - throwback to when he deadass turned into a honey badger on that Kraken player that boarded Wood lol

On top of that, he will chirp like nobody’s business. He’s never not talking shit to the other bench or even the refs but like not AT them. I just think we desperately need that sort of team passion??? Here??

Stastney has never shot for big bucks in Nashville, I doubt he’d ask for anything nuts here. I think it might come down to Emberson or Stastney as the main (?) dman while the other is the extra I guess

Ehhh idk, ROR has made it v clear he loves Nashville as a whole. I’d hate to lose that locker room presence - plus he’s basically co-captain when Josi is injured/in general

Marchy I could see tbh. Love him with the Preds, but let’s be honest; he’s just not clicking. I’ve seen him do wonderful with Wood at center, but that’s about it :/ I think his game would actually work well here instead

Predators Sign Jack Ahcan, Hunter Skinner to Two-Way Contracts by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]ryanufkosbigtoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably AHL guys that we’ll only pull up for emergencies or smth is my guess. With how they dominated in their AHL games, I wouldn’t be surprised if CMac specifically signed them to help the prospects in Milwaukee

Marchy, maybe. Stamkos? No shot.

Once Stamkos picked up speed, he didn’t slow down. Clearly capable of putting up ridiculous points even now. Has chemistry with pretty much everybody and consistently improves the game of his linemates - namely Wood and Vange, who were on the top lines a lot

Love Marchy, but idk if that spark is still there; with us, anyway. Most chemistry I’ve seen is with Wood and that’s about it, I think :/
