Small Pet Peeve:
I'm often bothered when people propose lineups with players can-opener-ed onto on their off wings or D pairings.
It's very rare that a player can play as effectively on the opposite side from the one that they normally shoot from.
For example, I've seen plenty of proposals here that have Monahan, Jankowski, Mangiapane, Dube, Tkachuk, and Bennett at RW.
Very few of them have ever played any NHL minutes on their off-wing and the couple that have (Tkachuk and Bennett) did not excel when put into that position.
The same goes for suggesting Kylington or Valimaki at RD, it's highly unlikely to work nearly as well as if they just stayed on their natural sides.
Sure, plenty of NHL Centers have moved to their strong side wing, but wingers seldom successfully change sides apart from the PP, and it's even rarer for defense-men (Brodie, and to a lesser extent Fantenberg, are the only two exceptions on the Flames roster).
