Honestly l'd keep Borque where he is for now, seems to be doing real well there. I'd more Cam down and see if I could use him as trade bait for a top tier defender.

One other line note from today's practice:
No clues as to fourth line or 3rd d pairing as Boll rotated with the Three C's and Connauton, Goloubef, and Prout all rotated as well.

So if we need to move CAM down why would he be attractive enough to a team that they would be willing to give us a top tier defender in return?

Now did I say it would be easy!!!
That's what they pay Jarmo the big bucks for. I think we'd have to include something to get something back though, Cam +++.

What, me worry?
I don't do anything different with Cam. Borque may have had a good camp, but with his baggage, I am not completely sold on him yet.

Keep trotting Cam Atkinson out there.. making sure he is playing balls out, why potentially look to trade him without giving him a chance to shine?

He's had years to shine.
Cam's scoring rates in the last four years:
2.17 pts/60mins
2.10 p/60
1.58 p/60
1.68 p/60
So if anything he's going backwards. Yeah, you could keep him with Joey all the time and he might hit 50 pts. But that just makes him like Matt Moulson, not versatile.
Rise from the Ashes
Price defies corsi
I know that at the end of preseason he wasn't even on 2nd unit, but was kind of on the cusp, but I would expect him to draw in with that unit plenty.
First unit seems pretty set with Johansen-Saad-Foligno-Hartnell + one D
Second unit seems to be Dubinsky-Wennberg-Atkinson-Bourque/Jenner + one D.
For D, I would guess that it is probably 1. Murray, 2. Savard, 3. Johnson - although I think all will get plenty of time.
I would imagine that Jenner gets full time second PP unit for most of the year, with a lot of PK time.
I dunno, maybe things have changed at practice in Cleveland this week.

What if we moved Cam to the 4th line, move Clarkson to the 3rd, scratch Campbell and dress Karlson.
Saad/Johansen/Foligno
Jenner/Dubinsky/Borque
Hartnell/Wennberg/Clarkson
Calvert/Karlson/Atkinson
Probably ludicrous, but could definitely roll 4 lines with that.

I like our lines as it is currently constructed to be honest. And, unless Campbell majorly struggles, I can't see him being a healthy scratch.
Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Here is how I'm going to address this recent discussion. I am not disposed against any of the combinations - at least until they've had some regular-season ice time. Point being, depth is good, options are good, and HCTR has them at his disposal. Also, I reserve the right to ***** about said disposal at appropriate (to me) moments.

What do u guys expect out of Jenner this year ? Is he healthy ?
Just wondering because I wanted to pick him up in fantasy, it's either Jenner or Lehtera

Oilers Fan coming in peace.
Do you think this is a lock to start the season?
Saad/Johansen/Foligno
I picked Foligno 24th overall in my points pool.
Says he shoots left so did he move over for Saad or always played the right side?
Hope your team stays healthy, they should do some damage.

Based on what I saw at practice today, I expect Karlsson and Goulubef to be two of the healthy scratches.
Karlsson was bouncing between lines and Goulubef was rotating into the Murray-Savard pairing occasionally while Connauton and Prout were a constant combination.
Boll may still be a possibility on the fourth line as he is still rotating with the Three Cs.

I'd also be fine with this if the ice time was decent for that 4th line. I agree, 30/30/20/20. The one player who is indisputably "too good" for that ice time is Hartnell, but he's in need of some rest anyways. I don't think we want him playing 18 minutes a night.
Also not sure if Clarkson has the hockey sense to play with Hartnell/Wennberg.
Thank Gawd it's almost over! This town has been geeked up for the Blue Jackets like I've never seen since June!
Can you imagine a time in our past where we honestly thought of having Scott Hartnell and playing him on our FOURTH line?!?
