The more I read, the happier I am. Can't have enough "warriors"

Zubrus-Loktionov-Kovalchuk

Carter-Gionta-Bernier
If kostopoilos is as hard working as advertised then he could be ok on the 3rd. Heck it could be a decent checking line maybe. The 3rd and 4th lines could split time, like the 1st and 2nd lines split time. Unless we make a trade, no room for butler, Matteau, Harrold, Barch, Janssen... But that's ok as these 12 better fit this team... We've now made 3 trades to get it this way, hard to imagine we trade for a top 6 LW. I think Lou acquired these forwards and these are the 12/13 were going to be making lines out of to fight for a cup. Maybe Zubrus-Loktionov will work well and problem solved. I'm still not sold on Loktionov being the answer over Henrique, but if he can keep the intensity up then u never know. Too bad for Tedenby and josefson. A bit of a letdown. It may be time to add them to the Bergfors pile of discarded Swedes soon.stream of comsciousness over.

I cannot see Kostopolous being there long term. A trade is really needed to improve top line. Can't see this team contending without some sort of trade being made.
