Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 4798186, member: 4819"] I would say the faceoff unit winning only 40% of their draws also was a big reason why they didn’t run a third midfield line. I feel like that third midfield line is most fan bases white whale. Not very many teams run them. Do you want to run Deere and GEB at the expense of Rhoa or Birtwistle? I think the only way teams run a third line is if they are winning a ton of faceoffs, and they need to keep guys fresh. I hope that’s SU this year but I’d be perfectly happy with 50%. More likely I think they rotate Deere, maybe GEB as a fourth attack man or man up specialist (though those spots will be hard to come by). A lot can change. Simmons was the starting attackman at the start of the year last year but Kirst replaced him a few games in. [/QUOTE]
