All of that could be solved by dropping Sillinger to the 4th line or 13F spot until Danforth returns. This is also probably unrealistic but here's one suggestion:

Johnson - Monahan - Fantilli
Chinakhov - Voronkov - Marchenko
vanRiemsdyk - Jenner - Brindley
Sillinger - Kuraly - Olivier
I like it more but Evason wants the Jenner - Monahan - Marchenko line as the first.

Was hoping to see Mateychuk. I don't like this top 9 layout but I'm sure it will sort itself out if it doesn't work. I would like to see:

Jenner/Fantilli-Johnson
Chinakhov-Voronkov-Marchenko
JVR-Monahan-Brindley
Sillinger-Kuraly-Olivier

Or if they're firm on the current centers then:

Johnson-Monahan-Marchenko
Jenner-Fantilli-Chinakhov
JVR-Sillinger-Voronkov

Hard to tell what actually would work in practice though. Haven't seen much to determine where players are at and how they all work together.

This is the type of game you'd expect to CBJ to play well but will likely lose, kinda like Washington last night

I think what most often happens in this sort of pre-season NHL v AHL matchup is that the AHL guys work their tails off and dominate possession, can't score, and then just get wiped on the PP and on a few skill plays. Didn't happen last night, but that's how I see it happening most of the time.

Owen and Cole both in, eh? Nice.

So, how soon 'till we offer a contract to Lukas? Might as well collect the whole set, and he put up decent points for the Sun Devils last season. And he's close enough to a Luca that he'd already obviously be a fit... ;)
Might as well get a Luca Fantilli too for Cleveland near the end of this year while we are at it.

Not sure I’m a big fan of these mostly NHL vs mostly AHL type of games, but let the guys have some fun at least
Sabres fan here, in peace.

We didn't have much of a choice -- our top 27 players are all over in Europe. Played Red Bull Munich last night then we get the Devils Friday/Saturday in Prague.

Sooooo, you get the remnants of the Amerks.

Feel like if our passing gets a bit crisper that some of these plays will get legs; have a few possessions where we lose it or fail a shot due to our own mistakes
