Rod is a great coach but at this point he’s just hoping that the top line or defense wins us games.

The other three lines are not providing any offense whatsoever.

Load up the second line with Teravainen, throw Drury on the third to complete the forechecking line, and put Svech on the fourth with the hope that he can take advantage of easier matchups.

Disagree. Our 3rd line is forecheck… like all the lines should be doing nearly every single shift. No they don’t always provide goals. But they provide our much needed offensive pressure. 4 is decent at forechecking. 1-2 are more run and gun, neither line is setting up forechecks.

Can’t win the cup like that and I’ll die on that hill.

Need contribution from all lines because eventually one of the top two lines is going to get shutdown.

Just look at Vegas last year, their 3C had 11 goals in the playoffs.

Expecting one or two lines to carry you to the cup is a recipe for disaster. Only way it could potentially work is if the defense contributes at an elite level.

We’re seeing first hand tonight what happens when the top line doesn’t score.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
