Cam's interview during the NHLPA meeting was also telling,the mindset of the team is a return to that hard hat lunch box mentality that gave them a 105 pts season (before Panarin). It can be done, espcially with a better defence , so the only question mark is can Merz or Korpi become Bob.
my lines
Nyquist-Dubois-Atkinson
Texier-Foligno-Bjorkstrand
Jenner-Wennberg - Anderson
Dano-Dubinsky-Nash
Hannikainen/Robinson
Jones-Werensky (god willing)
Nuutivaara-Savard
Harrington-Murray
Kukan
Korpisalo
Merzlinkis
- Alexzanki
Alex,
Switch Anderson and Nyquist and it looks good to me.
In fact, in an interview in the Columbus Dispatch Torts said he would pair Nyquist and Wennburg because someone has to find a way to get him going.
In some ways Wennburg may well be the key to this team making the playoffs this year. If he becomes what everyone thought he could be when he was a 1st round pick, this team could be great.
the problem is he never has been great, or even good other than an occasional assist.
