What do you guys think? I've been dreaming of seeing Ennis play with Leino. Since Leino had such chemistry with Briere and Hartnell do you think these 3 on our team could find the same chemistry? I would say that Ennis is a younger Danny and Boyes is a little bit different of a player than Boyes but ultimately fill that power forwards role.

What, no Stafford?

It'll be quite different because Leino is playing center and Boyes is no power forward in my book.

I would try Ennis-Leino-Pomminville and Vanek-Roy-Stafford as top lines.
That would leave Gerbe-Hecht-Boyes as a third line that should be decent.

I'm thinking...

Ennis-Roy-Stafford
Vanek-Leino-Boyes

If it really is the case that Roy and Vanek are better off on separate lines, I'd rather see it like this. Pominville is a better two-way forward than Boyes and Stafford so he fits better in a checking line role (a checking line with Hecht and Gerbe that should be scoring also). But with how Ruff juggles we'll see everything under the sun. I really like Ruff, but that is the one thing that drives me crazy. I see solid, consistent scoring lines all around the NHL, but not in Buffalo since the pinball machine days of 06-07.

Not a bad idea. But I figured Lindy will try and force Roy Vanek Stafford for the start of next season.

What about Ennis-Leino-Vanek, Vanek did play some RW last year. And didn't Pomms and Staff play on a line for a bit last year? So what about Stafford-Roy-Pomms? For the bottom 6 does anyone else wanna see Gerbe Goose and Kaleta stay together? Then Hecht-McCormick-Boyes.

Hows about Vanek - Leino - Staff and Ennis - Roy - Pommers?

I don't know, a skilled forward? In my opinion a power forward has to have grit, deliver hits and overall "power". Hartnell is a stereotype power forward for me. They are just labels and it doesn't really matter.

Ennis-Leino-Vanek looks fine, but with the glut of good RWs I don't see the need. I really think Boyes will be a great addition if he's only playing RW and not trying to fill in at center, so I don't want to see him buried on the 4th line, or with players that can't create for him. He's a lot like Stafford, good size with a good scoring touch, but not the puck handling or playmaking skills to go without a skilled center.

For me the 4th line would be set with McCormick-Gaustad-Kaleta. A nasty line who can also score a goal once in a while. Usually they have to split up after 3 games when Kaleta gets hurt.

I guess Lindy will just tell the Buffalo IT-division to write him an line-scrambling-app and players will fear the mobile.

Definitely not a skilled forward but I get what you mean. Power forward build without the play of a power forward. I was thinking his board play and nose around the net might compliment Ville and Ennis well.

Exactly. Lucic is a PF and Boyes is just well a forward.

Boyes is a forward with a scoring touch.

Boyes is a forward who got lucky for a couple years.

Boyes is a forward who has to play better or he will find himself on the 3rd line.
