Let's all take a moment to say how much better a John Moore less defense looks. Addition by subtraction indeed.

Todd, if Dea becomes a staple on the 4th line, who do you think is the odd man out when Bratt is healthy?

My guess is Noesen because Bratt was playing on that line in preseason and he looked really good paired with Mojo and Zacha

My guess is its Bratt sent down, he is only ine who does not have to clear waivers. Barring any other injuries of course.

Does Q need to clear waivers?

Shvingter's boy was awesome in the face off dot last night winning almost 87% of his draws. That's how puck possession begins

I wonder if Shero getting guys like Dea, and whoever on D was a plan B-type to fill in the holes for sending better known players to Toronto for the Hold Out Kid?

Or not.

I would hope Boyle but guess Quenneville. There will probably be a bit of a rotation, though.

Todd,
I know our top line has been solid, but what would you think of putting a speedy winger (Dea or Bratt) first line chances on the RW. I really feel palms needs to be a focal point on the second line if we want to promote two offensive lines. Hall can drive offense on his own and simply needs a speedy winger to compliment him on the right. I feel palms is often and oversight on an already stacked L1.

I disagree. Palms can score. Hall drives the play, and that RW can get open. If we're able to keep the puck in the zone like we can with hall-hischier, then we need a scorer to capitalize on the chances the line. I don't care if the top line scores all the goals, as long as it's enough goals to win the game. If a line is creating chances, I want as many scorers on it as possible. No passengers or "complimentary" guys that aren't scorers, in my opinion.
