I'm strangely comfortable with these.
Who goes when Hjammer gets back--TVR or Kempny? Enquiring minds want to know.
So Forsling is in?
We have Gus/Pokka/Svedberg and TVR earmarked for Vegas...I say it sucks to trade him but the circumstances are perfect. Do it.
Bowman's issue is he needs a top 6 forward and will wait for the right package that fits our needs in 4 months. Good group to start moving forward with, the search for talent is going a bit deep into the system but if we turn over a couple rocks it will be for the greater good.
You lose skill guys like Shaw and TT and it just becomes hard to put overwhelming and sustained pressure on an opponent with all the young guys breaking zones down and being nervous with the puck. I really think we need to form things better based on having guys on each line who make possession easy.
Pan-Toews-Panik seems like a functional line to me. I'd ride it just to see what kind of production that gave me for a bit.
Motte-AA-Kane I think lots of players could do well with AA-Kane and the way they play. Thats why Pan is more valuable someplace else.
Desjardins-Kruger-Hossa I really want to see this line at some point. To me that Kruger-Hossa line as a shut down line with some offense is something to try and build and see if we can find the right combination. Its a valuable line Q can use to great evil purposes.
Try it with Motte-Desjardins-Schmaltz-Hartman-Hinostroza all getting shots at being the right compliment. I think its a given Desjardins could fit into that and do what you want, but perhaps Hinostroza or Motte can play a better roll there.
