Monday Morning Magic (Oct 24th, 2017)

Hello everyone! In the hopes of boosting some creative discussion regarding hockey I figured I'd run a little debate/opinion program for everyone to chime in. Each week I will give an interesting talking point and you can come up with who or why you think your choices are the way they are. This week's topic is "The Perfect Thread Line" (out of current NHL players). I will go first below and feel free to explain your choices:

 

Background: I grew up watching some great third lines. Of course Pandolfo/Brylin/Madden was a favourite and so was Maltby/Draper/McCarty was another good one. Who would be your mix/match third line?

 

Jason Chimera - Sean Couturier - Troy Brouwer

 

Chimera is a leader but also for a big guy has some great wheels on him. He is a threat to score 20 goals a year as well. Couturier shutdown Malkin in the postseason one year and ever since then has been one of the most annoying players to play against, plus the beard. Brouwer is probably the best threat to score 30 goals on this line and he does everything right and isn't a handful to have in your organization like other players.

 

Who's yours?

Cool idea I really like your third line two former Caps and Corturier who I'm a huge fan of, I acquire him often when I be a GM. I'd say my ideal third line would be as follows.

 

Carl Haglin - Sean Corturier - Joel Ward.

 

Defensive acumen, great forecheck and board play, speed, and proven playoff performers.

I forgot about Joel Ward, he would make it if he wasn't a winger. Easily my 4th guy @Mr. Power
