Kuz is back

[DryKing]

I’m glad they’re finally putting them together at the start & not while trying to come back. The other lines are Moore-Kopi-Kuz, Foegele-Danault-Laf, & Armia-Turcotte-Perry. The Kopi line is the one I’m most curious to see if it works. I’m pretty confident in the other 3.

On the Fiala-Byfield-Kempe line I am curious to see who will step forward to do the dirty work. If someone does, that line could be lethal. I'd personally rather see something like Turcotte-Byfield-Kempe. As VCRW mentioned, Byfield has been weak on faceoffs while Turcotte has been strong, so perhaps Turcotte could step in to handle the faceoffs for that line.

Juice has also become a 50% faceoff guy over the years. QB needs to play a more controlled game and rely on his wingers to score. If Q plays more like a true center and less like a rover, this line should be able to dominate while still creating meaningful chaos in the o-zone.

Phillip Danault is on pace for 0 goals and 16 points this year.

Switch Turcotte with Danault.

Since Kuz doesn’t seem to be the answer what if they try going younger?

Jets forward Brad Lambert given permission to seek trade partner

Lambert has one goal in four games with the Jets to start the 2025-26 season.

I'd give them a 3rd-er. Is he waiver exempt though?

"In this house Phillip Danault is a hero!"

Yeah he is currently waiver exempt. I agree, a 3rd or 4th seems about right for him.

Looks like he has potential but also puts himself in bad positions increasing his change of injury (similar to Turcotte).

Seems worth the risk if the ask is reasonable.

Interesting, last time we got a player from them that they had issues with and that player wanted out, well..... That did not work to well for the Kings.
