So do you think Stolarz could win as many games this season in the NHL as Mason?

I like how you flushed the dreck but that's no way to tank a season my friend.

No, but I do expect Stolarz to have an okay first AHL season.

Sarcasm sir, as much as I'd like McDavid or Eichel this draft will have plenty to go around.

Dear Craig,
If you aren't going to dress Akeson, at least try the following:
Raffl-G-Jake
Bellemare-VLC- Read
Schenn-Coots-Simmonds
Umberger-VDV-Rinaldo
Please??
- BiggE

Bellemare is one of the better faceoff guys, and they like him at Center. He gives the 4th line some speed and puck skill.

I heard again that there's a significant drop off after 10. We'll see.

At the moment I'd disagree from those I have been able to watch but it would be smart to go with those who follow much closer

Thats well and good, but since Laughton isn't on the roster and our fearless leader won't dress Akeson, I was forced to work with who's in the lineup

Actually, since we're on this page there are 17 other pages to go through. You know, not to get into semantics and what not.

I personally like the lines as they are right now. I think they make sense. Although I am intrigued about splitting up Giroux and Voracek. I see pros and cons to that.

I've heard Bob McKensie and Craig Button both mention it but you know how things change as the season progresses. I'm still not quite up for Major Junior/College hockey yet. I'm barely watching the NHL what with all the hockey I get live Friday through Monday.

ive thought for a while they really should split them up. since you guys dont have a technical number 2 center, jake could supplement that role from the wing since he is very good with the puck on his stick and making plays.

you could swing simmonds up to the top line with giroux, but then i wonder if raffl would still be effective enough in that role, as he would likely have to take on more of a burden. as of now, that top line is working wonderfully, and although you lose some balance by placing your 2 best forwards on the first line, you make up for it a bit by having raffl able to be acceptable as a top 6 forward, creating a trickle down effect for depth.

however, since its working so well right now, it would make me question the merits of breaking it up at this point.
