Idealy, I think it will be bjugs getting first line C, trocheck with second line C, and Shore for 3rd line C. Keep the fourth as is because they have been great 4th line energy.
Although the only problem with Shore is that he would have to pass waivers if sent back down. And I recall Dale Tallon saying he would not do that, the next time he is up, he's up for good.
So if no Shore, then it could be Butler instead with Kopecky moving to C.
Really stinks losing Pirri and Barkov, but that's the game and we'll see how this team reacts. I do have much more confidence in Gallants "system" with respect to replacing injured players. Also thankful our D or goaltending didn't get hit, since that has been our strength, and I don't believe we have much, if any depth, at those positions.
Yea we would be ****ed if Lu got injured (Montoya is a great backup but thats all that he is and hes the only decent goalie in our system at the moment)
