Very nice, can't wait.

 

[SuchySays]

hell ya

 

[swflyers93]

Good stuff.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Nice

 

[FlyTimmo]

Cool. Will be nice to see Laughton on the big club.

 

[Striiker]

Really excited to see him play. I assume he'll be one of the 4th lines, but as long as it's not the Lecavelier 4th line he should have at least a bit of offensive zone time.

and they keep vandevelde with the club

 

[Tankadelphia]

Heck yeah

 

[Random Forest]

Awesome. Hope he never looks back.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Tis the season to be Laughton

 

[Curufinwe]

Great move.

and they keep vandevelde with the club

Of course they do. VdV is better than Jones and anyone else on the Phantoms right now.

 

[flyershockey]

Good. He should be getting top nine minutes. No sense in calling him up to only replace Jones on the fourth line.

 

[Curufinwe]

No lineup predictions yet? What I think they'll do:

Umberger-BSchenn-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
Rinaldo-Bellemare-Vinny
VdV-Laughton-Akeson

What I'd do:

BSchenn-Bellemare-Voracek
Read-Couturier-Simmonds
Umberger-Laughton-Lecavalier
Rinaldo-VdV-Akeson

Have to think Laughton moves to center between Schenn and Voracek now

Tim P. has Tweeted the following:

Yes. throw him right in with big minutes.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

That's a classic Panotch tweet.

Tim P. has Tweeted the following:

So fourth line it is then.

 

[bennysflyers16]

So fourth line it is then.

G in walking boot and crutches, this could be long term

Timmy was the one who got concussed on Monday.

 

[hckyplayer8]

Nice!! Here we go!

 

[Random Forest]

Frankly, I wouldn't mind throwing Laughton in between Voracek and Schenn off the bat. It's better than moving Umberger to that line.

What I would like to see, though, is this:

Schenn-Couturier-Voracek
Umberger-Lecavalier-Read
Bellemarre-Laughton-Simmonds
Rinaldo-VandeVelde-Akeson

Don't mind that at all as you would hope there two with Vinny may help him. No chance of it happening though, he won't split up Couts and Read. Throw Laughts right onto top line and go.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Only good thing that can come from Claude getting hurt. Hope Laughton shines.

Or it could be a couple of days like Hextall said earlier.
