0:00
chirp one how do you fix the top nine so
0:03
Jim mcgomery gets all up in the business
0:06
of the top six the top N9 is a little
0:08
bit of a scrambled mess and uh right
0:12
last night it was Trent Frederick on
0:14
with with Charlie Cole and and Brad
0:16
Maran seemed to work a little bit better
0:18
Morgan geeky uh had the scratch in this
0:22
one and then the third line was a mess
0:25
last night it was it was as bad as it's
0:27
been all year with Max Jones and Riley
0:30
tuy along with Matt Patra uh the fourth
0:32
line continues to carry it you know how
0:38
nine that's it's a it's a hard question
0:41
because they are as we've said you know
0:43
many times there's a bunch of uh not a
0:45
bunch but there's some forwards missing
0:47
there some some guys that you um you
0:50
know don't have or need to plug in there
0:54
that that uh you know to fill some
0:57
production you don't have a jake de
0:58
Brusque uh so you know you need to fill
1:01
his you know 30 goals or 25 goals or 20
1:05
goals um and you know you just you're
1:09
probably a forward or to short so I
1:13
personally uh in order to get Brad Maran
1:16
going I'm putting him on the top line
1:18
with lindol and poso I'm going back that
1:21
way I'm putting zacha online too with
1:24
Coy and ptra and I'm putting Frederick
1:27
and geeky and Jones together on line
1:30
and that's that's I mean you don't have
1:33
another I mean if you want to if you
1:34
want to everybody wants to put Phil
1:37
Esposito brazo in in place of Max Jones
1:40
on line three uh and he'll score 76
1:43
goals I'm all for it uh I don't think
1:46
Max Jones or Justin brezo are scoring 76
1:49
goals in their careers no so uh will
1:53
leave that where it is um but I that's
1:57
what I would do personally will they do
1:59
that no they won't um but that's what I
2:03
would like to see to see if we can jump
2:04
start marand and uh you know get the get
2:08
the second line cooking a little bit
2:10
more too yeah I'd like to see I'd like
2:12
to see ptra eventually Center the second
2:17
marand and somebody and then I'd like to
2:20
see Frederick Coyle and geeky back
2:22
together on the third line and I think
2:24
that makes your third and fourth lines
2:26
pretty solid and then you know see what
2:29
you have with the line you need a second
2:31
line Winger you need hopefully a veteran
2:33
guy who could score at the deadline I
2:36
don't know how you can do it with very
2:38
limited cap space I just don't I just
2:41
don't know if it's if it's not Fabian
2:44
lysel I don't know when you try that I I
2:47
would have tried that already or I'd
2:49
certainly try it very soon before you
2:53
season um but I'd experiment with it at
2:56
least I mean I've seen different reports
2:58
about him not playing that well and then
3:00
I see all sorts of video that shows them
3:03
having some really nice you know moments
3:06
and highlights so I don't know what to
3:07
think because I don't I haven't watched
3:09
it you know watched him a ton and
3:10
certainly not watched him in person I
3:13
watch I looked at the stat sheet and
3:14
I'll tell you this he is uh two games
3:17
played z00 z- one so okay that's that's
3:22
not great I guess that's not exactly
3:24
filling up the stat sheet in the right
3:25
way so I mean I like like you said
3:28
though I would have entertain that
3:30
already I would have tried that out um
3:33
you know maybe the follow-up backup plan
3:35
there is is Tyler Johnson I don't know
3:38
even how you can sign him with the
3:40
amount of cap space they have right now
3:42
I I I don't know how that's going to all
3:44
go down uh or Georgie merkulov possibly
3:47
he's had he has two assists I believe in
3:49
two games so far down there so yeah he
3:51
seems to go down there and play well
3:53
maybe that's his comfort level maybe
3:56
merkulov um or maybe he just has never
3:59
really received a fair shake at this
4:01
level I don't know but uh his play away
4:04
from the puck up here concerns me and um
4:08
I I just I'm not sure he has
4:11
the um skating speed to to carry the
4:14
puck and be effective at this level
4:16
because I don't know if he's elusive
4:18
enough like ptra is to slip checks and
4:21
get away from guys the way ptra can um
4:25
because he just he he isn't quick enough
4:28
uh lysel has the quickness so so I mean
4:30
that's that's what separates him in my
