That’s fair. Flip Atkinson and Bjorkstrand then. You can put Foligno up there too if Moe is correct.
Something like:
Foligno - Dubois - Bjorkstrand
Nyquist - Jenner - Atkinson
Texier - Wennberg - XXXXX
Maybe Wennberg works better with Gus and so you flip Gus and Tex and go with an all-Swede third line with Bemstrom.
I wasn’t sleeping on Foudy... I just completely forgot about him.
I agree, I like the player a lot and think he could be useful. I could see it almost being like Texier-esque last year playoffs (/ play-in) where he’s almost too naive for his own good and doesn’t even grasp the magnitude of the situation (which is a good thing) and thrives playing against a skilled, not heavy team but then if we advance starts coming back down to earth/getting worn down against a team like Boston.
We can pretty much be sure those eight names I mentioned in the lines above will be in the lineup, so it’s basically 7 guys fighting for 4 spots: Bemstrom, Gerbe, Shore, Nash, Foudy, Robinson, Stenlund. I really don’t know how you choose.
