Parise Gomez Gionta what a killer line
Too much pure offense on one line, I'd rather see
Pandolfo Gomez Gionta
this will help the +/-, and finally Pando gets the green light to go offensive!
I agree with trying to put Pando on a scoring line. Give him a chance to thrive both offensively and defensively. Plus it would give us more balance which is what we need. Teams knew the only line that was going to play "shutdown" was the Madden line.
my response to this topic:
yea honestly i wouldnt really mind that bc i think pando could keep up with those two if he is given the green light. so this is wat i think would be nice in terms of offensive lines (ill worry about the defense another time soon ;) )
Pandolfo-Gomez/Free Agent-Gionta (well this would give the devils a line that could be very good offensively (yes, with pando who i believe could strive under this) and would be defensively responsible)
Parise-Zajac-Clarkson (i believe these 3 played together b4 and seemed to gel pretty good and they would be great on cycle and clarkson could provide physical presence)
Elias-Madden-Langenbrunner (would give devils a line with 3 big bodies who will hit and play physical, certainly will not be pushed around, is very defensively responsible, with lots of speed and potential to be dangerous on offense)
Brylin-Viuhkola-Pelley/Rasmussen (gives devils a fourth line who can play 8-10 mins or so, is defensively responsible, and can even chip in a few goals maybe with pelley and rassy both getting time on that line, only concern is whether or not pelley can be effective physically and hitting)
i honestly never thought of this until i saw that post, and i absolutely love the balance in these lines actually...........wats everyone else think??
then someone questioned why i had rassy in here and this is wat i said:
the only reason i really would take rassy would be to get a physical presence on that line and a guy who is always throwing hits every time he steps on the ice, idk i would at least wanna have a forth line that could be physical, kinda like the sens fourth line of schubert-mcammond-saprykin, one guy throwing his weight around but yet being able to provide some offense and not be a liability and other 2 guys are more offensive and scorers. but the problem is, yes, pelley may throw his weight around, but is it effective as a result of him not being very big?? i mean i only watched him play in one game i believe and didnt really pay attention to him (i cant really watch many devils games anyways besides national broadcast, games against the sabres, games against the leafs on saturday nights, and playoff games). i mean for those of you that did, was pelley effective physically or did he just kinda throw hits but not really be considered "physicallity". like with rassy we know that he can hit hard and hits a lot. does pelley do the same thing??? cuz if he does then id say fine, keep him in always and just let rassy walk or keep him as a 13th forward in case of injury.
----wat does everyone here think??? one question id have would be if gomez doesnt return (which hes prolly not gonna), who could devils get to sign to play center on that line.......maybe someone like handzus or something who wouldnt cost as much??
