Posted this at the end of the last thread but it does discuss a lot of topics that we have, and some that no one has mentioned.

I shall settle for this. Also if Ferland could decapitate Boedker I'd appreciate it.

I agree that we should be sellers, even if we are still sitting in the wildcard at the TDL. I also agree with Darren that they need to do something with the young guys. I would move Bennett to centre with Gaudreau & move Monahan to the wing. Put these 3 together. They have so much talent, hopefully they find some chemistry. Even if you switch Bennett & Monahan from wing to centre sporadically. Keep the 3M line together.

The Herald is saying Vlasic is out with a face injury.

The Sharks have a terrible road record when they're without Vlasic.

I was going to post something similar, except I think it's Bennett who should be moved to the wing. Monahan's shown he is capable of putting up 30 goals as a centre and his defensive game is improving quite a bit (could be a good reason for his decline in production this year--plus the back injury at the start).

Bennett seems to have better showings when he plays on the wing. I think it allows him to settle down and play his game. Also, Monahan is our best regular centreman on faceoffs, Bennett is our worst.

If I had 100% control of the lineup I'd try running with something like this for a few games:

Gaudreau Monahan Bennett
Tkachuk Backlund Frolik
Ferland Janko Versteeg
Hamilton Stajan Hathaway
Chiasson

Gio Hamilton
Brodie Wideman/Kulak
Kulak Engellund

Once Brouwer comes back we could throw him on that 3rd line and Ferland could bump either Hamilton or Hathaway out. I want to see if Janko's a legit 3C before the season is over. We've been fairly patient with Bennett, but at this point I'm still not sold on him as our 2C which isn't ideal when we will have to make a decision on what to do with Backlund in the next year or so.

Seems like keeping Backlund is a no-brainer at this point.

Bennett for Landeskog, anyone?

There's no decision needed on Backlund, pay the man

Imo it will be a while before Bennett is better than monny and backs ...he might never be ...but he is a different kind of player than them which is good ..I would like to see janko more too just to see what he could be

Don't know enough about Landeskog to really say. At this point we don't have to worry about paying Bennett too much, sure he's shown flashes, but no where near Backlund money.
If I was entertaining trading Bennett it have to be for a rw to play in the top 6, Rantanen?
