Not sure. I would love to see what Granlund, Coyle and Zook could do as the 3rd line though... I would imagine it'll be

1st - Parise Koivu Pominville

2nd- Coyle Granlund Seto

3rd- PMB Brodziak Zucker

4th- Mitchell Konopka Rupp

- MnGump

Doesnt Coyle play more RW and Zucker play more LW?

Yeah, I just threw them up there quick. Wasn't really paying attention to their respective wings. Sorry.

Edit: I'm guessing if Coyle plays on the 2nd line though, he'll probably have to play left wing. Unless they play Zucker on the 2nd line and move Coyle to the 3rd. I don't really know, I'm just guessing at this point.

Can't wait to get PMB out of this lineup. Not sure if I trust 3 rookies on a line together, though down the road that could turn out to be one heck of a line. I like how they are trying Coyle at the center position. Him with Zucker and Granny on his wings would be fun to see... still don't like FBJ at the center spot

It certainly makes more sense being Coyle is a natural center and Granlund is a natural winger. I stopped questioning Yeo after he got this team going though. He must know what he's doing. right?

For the most part, though this team still manages to pull off a Jekyll and Hyde on occasion, so that worries me

Well I'm still a bit puzzled. Granlund called up but still a forward spot to fill. I hope to god Yeo is not planning to put Prosser out there again tonight against the kings.

Duh My bad, I forgot about Clutterbuck. That is why they are not calling up another forward. I'm an idiot.

I agree with Gump. Why in the world did Fletch decide to neglect the D? An upgrade is sorely needed. Gave up a lot for Pomminville. Hope he plays well with Parise and Captain Koivu.

I would to, just thought in keeping with most of the natural positions.

But I could see maybe putting Coyle as 2nd line center and Granlund at 3rd line wing.

Pommer is a proven commodity. Hes missed like only 8 games in the last 6 years.

I am not saying Pomminville is not any good; he is. Just hope he can play with the guys on his line in a new place and new system and all.

He'll actually help on the defensive side too - extremely responsible player.

And this to. This for me is the best trade of the deadline. Not Gaborik to CBJ. CBJ still has crap centers. Ryan Johanson is still not playing anywhere near his talent level.

False. A pylon is a usually orange cone used to redirect traffic.

Am i doing it right?

Wild fans will learn to like and appreciate Pommer alot...much the way Sabres fans have for the last 7 years...Good luck to Pommer! He deserves it.

Now as for the Wild as a team, no disrespect meant, but for Buffalo to make out on this deal the Sabres need for the Wild to miss the playoffs and qualify and WIN the Draft Lottery!!

Sorry Wild fans, nothing personal but in 2015 I'll root for you to win the Cup...but for obvious reasons we need your guys to tank in 2013 and 2014...the Sabres rebuild is underway!!!!

Regher was a huge disappointment in Buff. I expected big hits and an ability to clear the front. He played like he was 39 years old, disinterested...

Sorry to hear that, maybe a change of scenery will change his way...at least I hope it will.

Minny were the trade deadline winners IMO. Pominville is underrated. Will fit in great with Parise, Koivu etc. The west has a lot of contenders. Hawks, Kings, Wild or Blues are my pick to come out of the west.
