If we go:
Kreider - Step - MSL
Zuccs - Brass - Nash
Hags - Hayes - Duclair
??? - Moore - Stempniak
We'd have the choice of Malone, Glass, and Mueller for the LW spot. I guess it's kind of set that Mueller gets sent down, Malone's carried as the extra, and Glass get the spot, as much as I'd prefer a different setup. Malone's a bit slow, but Mueller could make that a good 4th line. Won't happen, though.
I really do like the depth. I see that Haggerty's been doing pretty well in the A, but any word on his defensive game?
I still don't see the logic in going top heavy like that when spreading the RW's much in the same way we did after the deadline trade that brought MSL here makes the team that much harder to defend against.
The team maintains it's superior depth at the position in allowing all three guys (Nash, MSL and Zuccs) to play their natural positions.
I guess I could change my opinion should Duke show more than capable of playing on the RW and producing. That Messier-esque off-wing wrister to tie the game the other night was SWEET, if that is what we can expect from him (effort, not so much results) then maybe I can get behind:
Kreider - Stepan - Duke
Zuccs - Brassard - Nash
Hags - Hayes - MSL
Meuller - Moore - Stempniak
I would kick Glass to the curb (not gonna happen) and send Malone to Hartford.
