Hope you guys like the new update, feedback always welcomed, thanks for following!

This is how I will present the updates moving forward, accompanying the standing will be the Conference leaders in stats (Forward, Defensemen, Goalies) - I will display the complete new package when I update the Western Conference Standings.... now.

I'm rather concerned about the lack of depth scoring with this team. It's not whole lines, just guys here or there that I think we can get way more out of, for example, Connolly. We kept him over Toffoli, and while Toffoli already has 17 goals for Philly, Connolly only has 14 POINTS. Not saying that we are too shocked by it because we are giving Grenier the shot at 2nd line Center. We've gone 40 games with it, there's no point in moving him from that spot now. We will see how the lines move forward here, but bring up a Gretzky, Boyce, Rourke, Yakupov, or Saad is not out of the question. There also might be some movement in the trade department given our large amount of cap space right now. If I feel like we can make another run then we might go out and acquire a rental, usually I don't like doing that, and I won't sacrifice the future to do so, we'll see what happens. Next update should be around the trade deadline. Also, Crawford needs to be better, those numbers are far too low for him, might see Niemi get a few more starts, he's earned it.

Line 2: Combined - 14 G / 14 A / 28 PTS / + 21

LW - Beach / C - Grenier / RW - Connolly

Coming into the year many people thought this would be the line that would be key to the Hawks success, so far, so good. It's a little bit of a gamble having Grenier playing 2nd line Center, but we wouldn't have him there if we didn't think he could do it. Ultimately at this point in his career Grenier is a 3rd line Center, but we are in a position to try some things out, and I think he will be better because of it. This line has been solid, and teams are having issues matching their size. Beach 6'3", Grenier 6'5", and Connolly 6'2", that gives teams fits because all three can skate. Given that Connolly is the sniper on this line we chose to go with Beach at the opposite wing, and I like it so far, but a change could be in the offing. Hard to change anything right now, and this line should only get better. Outlook: Solid contributions have kept this line together, talks have begun about moving Nino up.

Line 3: Combined - 9 G / 8 A / 17 PTS / + 1

LW - Neiderreiter / C - Pirri / RW - Jensen

Definitely want more out of this line which is why the discussions have begun about moving Neids up a line. It's not necessarily what the 2nd line isn't doing, it's what the third line is. I think we can get more out of Neids, and I think that Jensen is going to be really good. But, at this point this line just isn't meshing like I thought it would. Pirri has been given the opportunity to be the third line Center, but I think it might be a bit much for the type of game he plays. I wouldn't say that we have been disappointed by this line, I just think it could, and should be more. Outlook: Changes coming, before anyone get's moved up, we might be messing with the bottom two lines only.
