Holzer and Fraser is a tough pairing, both big defensive d-men who can fight.
Not happy with Orr making the team, guy is useless. Although I'd rather Frattin be on the marlies than on the 4th line.

May I ask why you have Gunnarsson losing his first pairing status in favour of Kostka?
Edit: My proposed lineup...
Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
Mac - Grabo - Kulemin
JVR - McClement - Kadri
Komarov - Steckel - Brown
Orr
Phaneuf - Gunnarsson
Liles - Komisarek
Franson - Holzer/Kostka

wow that JVR-Kadri-Komarov line excites me alot! Energy, playmaking and scoring ability!
I just hope Kadri can handle centre. I'd imagine this line gets more than a usual 3rd line would get as well.

I so glad Orr is back! The Sheriff is back in townBeta males beware
Too bad Burke never built a truculent team.

I wouldn't have that, but that is the pairings they used at practice and TSN had on their preview show tonight. If it was up to me:
Phaneuf - Gunnarsson
Liles - Franson
Kostka - Holzer/Komi

Finally 
so excited 
I'm really happy that fraser ad holzer made it. The shutdown pair for the marlies, definitely NHL size.

My bad, I didn't know that.
Well I have a feeling Gunnar will find his way back to Dion.

I'm honestly not sure who Fraser is, how good is he?
Excited to see Holzer, knew he was ready
EDIT: ohh Mark Fraser, never mind I've heard of him.
He's a defensive d-man that played for the marlies. His one key problem was skating, but I remember reading he was working on that.
other than that he's a big guy that likes to stick up for his teamates. Will be useful if he's improved his skating.
p.l.f.
use the force
Gunnar didn't lose his spot. They were split up to spread out the stabilizing force/experience throughout the D. The goal is to bring down the top pairing minutes to just over 20 minutes per night as opposited to over 25 a night.
