That's some fantastic photoshopping by the folks at 960.

I'd happily be paid to do all their promotional ads and posters being a bit of a Ps magician who is trained. Too bad. But I guess it's more enjoyable this way.

Kerr needs a "thug life" caption there.

I like how Steinberg is set to 75% opacity for some reason.

I can confirm that Steinberg and McLovin are the same person.

He's just a 75% opacity kind of guy.

Gentle, and slightly transparent.

Chiasson hasn't looked very good. Ferland and Hamilton are really the only other two players left who makes sense in that spot.
Ferland and Hamilton are going to be busy on the third line.

So you figure that Hunter is going to be patrolling the second line this season?

When Rob Kerr returned to the Fan960 after his TV stint, they had a priceless add about him being a returning badass and the image was him in an alley or something. That was a gooder.

It only appears that way because he's tucked behind Kerr's shoulder. He's just pasty.

Dude you've been posting all over this forum, how can you be so clueless on the current situation? I'm not trying to sound like an asshat, I'm genuinely curious.

Gaudreau - Monahan - ""
Tkachuk - Bennett - Brouwer
"" - Backlund - Frolik

This is currently our top-9 (you can debate which line is 2nd and 3rd).

Notice that hole in the top RW spot?

That my friends is low contrast. Kerr also looked fresh off baking on a beach somewhere after his TV stint and was standing in sunlight. Steinberg was in poorer lighting. But nothing that a bit of color and contrast tweaking couldn't fix. /nerd rant

Not to get in the middle of it, but yeah I had Shinkaruk penciled in to my top line RW spot at the moment

I don't expect it to be permanent, just a few games here and there, like Jooris and Granlund before him

You didnt succeed, but thats okay.

I think that if we traded Sven for our 1st line RW we are in serious trouble.

I get that Brouwer is more sandpaper than anything else, but I see him and Frolik moving around on the right more than that.

We traded Sven for a 2nd round pick, I assume you are talking about Granlund. Regardless, Shinkaruk is a developed 1st round pick with lots of skill, it doesn't matter who he was traded for.

Brouwer is not leaving Bennett's side, I don't know if you are out of the loop. They look amazing together. Backlund and Frolik were great together last year. They are 2/3rds of our shutdown line. GG said that he's looking for pairings, not trios (just like most other coaches in todays NHL).

Monahan - Gaudreau
Bennett - Brouwer
Backlund - Frolik

Locke, these are the pairings we have right now. They aren't changing any time soon unless they all of a sudden lose chemistry with each other.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Shinkaruk is not an ideally constructed line. Gaudreau and Shinkaruk are both LWs and both undersized. That means nobody on the line excels at winning board battles or physical net front battles. Ideally Gaudreau/Monahan need a powerforward not an undersized skilled forward.

IMO the only way Shinkaruk makes sense in the top 6 is if he's with Bennett and Brouwer.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Shinkaruk-Bennett-Brouwer

I don't see a fit for Shinkaruk with Monahan/Gaudreau. Rather have Ferland, Tkachuk or Brouwer up there.

Dude that actually makes no sense...

Why is the younger Tkachuk able to play his off-wing, but Shinkaruk can't. The same Shinkaruk WHO HAS ALREADY HAD SUCCESS PLAYING RW.

Shinkaruk is 5'11 185 lb's. He's not small and he doesn't play small either. Look at his frame, he's pretty built.

Shinkaruk is a tenacious forward who can forecheck and isn't afraid to get into dirty areas.

This is what I'm talking about guys. There are so many on this forum who have no clue who Shinkaruk is or what kind of game he plays.
