in no way should Butler be sent down. he has been good. just send Lokti back.
I think Tallinder is worth at least a back
Send matteau down. He doesn't need to be playing 5 minutes a night. Put him Albany where he get increased competition over Jr. and can play more.

Anywhere on the top 9, hell he was good with Zajac and Kovy during the playoffs.Where do you guys think Ponikarovsky will fit in your team line up?
He`s going to be a part of a bigger trade, just watch.I just chuckled when I saw the news...typical Lou
Surprised Winnipeg would give him up that early though.
Tallinder has more value than Poni with the extra year on his contract
Can someone refresh my memory as to who were Poni's linemates last year?

I'm expecting Matteau to stay in the lineup for Barch most games. Try to see if he can develop enough to be someone we can run with in the playoffs.With Zubrus hurt, I imagine Ponikarovsky gets to be the latest guy to be on the Zajac/Kovalchuk line. Ideally Ponikarovsky'll be on the 3rd line eventually. And I wouldn't expect him to see much PP time.
I'd guess something along the lines of:
Ponikarovsky-Zajac-Kovalchuk
Elias-Henrique-Clarkson
Carter-Gionta-Bernier
Barch-Josefson-Butler
(Matteau/Lotkionov)
Funny how Kovy inadvertently did as well?
It would be nice to see the Ponikarovksy - Zubrus - Bernier unit again when Zubrus gets healthy. They just abused on the forecheck.Usually it was Clarkson and either Josefson/Zajac. In the playoffs he got some shifts with Zubrus and Bernier.
TG: "Lamoriello said they wanted to re-sign Ponikarovsky last summer, but were waiting on another player, and Poni signed with WPG." "It's pretty obvious the Devils were waiting on Parise and the money they would have allocated there."
Godamit, Parise.
