Bill Meltzer: Star Gazing: Will Nilstorp Crack Opening Night Roster?

how's Jagr doing?

I like Bachman but nothing wrong with some competition.

Ideally we'd have 3 quality stoppers and you flip one.

I saw Nilstorp at the Stars practice yesterday and he looked very good. He is much bigger than I thought, and though I like Bachman, he looked very small compared to Nilstorp and Lehtinen. Should be some good competition here.

What are the projected lines for the Stars this season?

how's Jagr doing?

Wandell

Goligoski-robidas
Daley-Larsen
Fistric-Rome
Jo.Benn-dillon

Kari
Nilstorp
Bachman

I think all we need is an upgrade in the top 4 on d and this team doesn't look to bad.
These are just my guesses tho for lines

What are the projected lines for the Stars this season?

Once Benn signs, something like this:

Eriksson - Benn - Jagr
Ryder - Roy - Whitney
Nystrom - Fiddler - Morrow

Lots of competition for 4th line still but gotta figure that guys like Garbutt, Eakin, Wandell and Smith are in the mix.

Thanks fellas!

Stars trade Fistric, this bites.

I take back my comment on losing too much grit, who do we have that can check now?

Once Benn signs, something like this:

Eriksson - Benn - Jagr
Ryder - Roy - Whitney
Nystrom - Fiddler - Morrow

Lots of competition for 4th line still but gotta figure that guys like Garbutt, Eakin, Wandell and Smith are in the mix.

any chance they have to start the season without benn? or should he be signed sometime this week?
