Sturm, Cardwell, and Kostin (along with Eklund, Dellandrea, Musty, and Gushchin) are in Anaheim right now. Bystedt isn't getting NHL games.
Later in the season, after some trades or injuries, it would be interesting to see him get some 4th line opportunities, I'm thinking with Grundstom on one wing. But certainly no need or opportunity for rushing him up now.

Oh, I misread the tweet. Curtis was saying that "Granlund on Smith's wing is how the season might start". I thought he was saying "This is likely the lineup." I need more coffee, esp. due to missing Eklund

I think that if Bystedt has a strong year with the Cuda, he could definitely gets some games after the deadline when Sturm/etc. are gone. But there's no chance he starts with the Sharks.

More coffee is always good. :)

So based on practice, we're going:

Eklund-Celebrini-Toffoli
Granlund-Smith-Zetterlund
Goodrow-Wennberg-Kunin
Grundstrom-Dellandrea-Kostin

Walman-Ceci
Thrun-Benning
Ferraro-Rutta

While I like loading up the top-6 and using the third line as a hard-minutes matchup line, 1) poor, poor Wennberg, 2) RIP Gushchin :(, 3) no Sturm?
