Saad-Schmaltz Kane
Kunitz-Anisimov-Kampf

This is exactly what I was thinking when I started doing it last night, as you know I am wont to do.
This was my exact vision, except for defense I have Gus or the joker on the ace powerplay this year instead of Keith, Sikura should replace Johnson soon (you know...the actual playmaker who was the reason Johnson scored in pre-season), and eventually Saad will go to one and you put AA up, and put the two chech guys together to help them learn.
El Gato-Toews-Saad
Smaltz-AA-Kane (somebody needs to cherry pick the net anyway)
Kunitz-Kampf-Kahun
Hayden-Kruger-Martini
is my guess for tonight...with a sense that Johnson gets rewarded early in season before send down, and that likley means Kunitz gets extra pine while he learns the system and gets old guy box days. Sikura will be nice for that third or fourth line to have some teeth eventually. Kinda silly to send him down, he can't grow 3 inches or gain 50 lbs, he is what he is, and Seabs should be a third pairing at this point if you are even going to ice the Walrus at all.
and that is one of the better playmakers and spacing guys the Hawks own.
But for our line vision...I think Q gives the same shit creativity he has been...
my Q vanilla special guess for tonight
Saad-Toews-El Gato
Smaltz-AA-Kane
Johnson-Kruger-Hayden
Martini-Kampf-Kahun....
barf..will suck to lose to Ottawa on opening night despite low expectations, but best believe both sides should have a little extra fight tonight.
