So assuming Kadri gets back before Tim I'd send Frattin down first, only so Kadri can get a few games under his belt before going down too.
Totally disagree. Kadri should not get the chance at Frattin's expense. Frattin has played very well imo and deserves his spot. Kadri hasn't earned anything yet and was outplayed by Frattin in the pre season. If Frattin keeps doing what he's doing, i don't see him going anywhere. I see Lombardi getting dropped to the 4th line with Steckel and Brown....We could potentially have 4 lines that you could put out anytime. What a luxury that would be. I see Rosehill, and Kadri going down. Dupuis will be in and out with Brown or when injuries crop up.
So when everyone is healthy...
Lupul Connolly(Bozak) Kessel
Mac Grabs Kule
Army Bozak(Connolly) Frattin
Brown Lombardi Steckel(takes the faceoffs)
extras...Orr, Dupuis
7 D men, 2 goalies for a 23 man roster.....
I personally don't care if Orr gets in the lineup. I want talent in there before anything. Brown has proven to be an effective player defensively and he'll drop them when needed. Time to move away from the tough guy taking up a roster spot....
