I despise Simon but I will never not admit that he’s a fantastic puck carrier/possession player, he has absolutely zero finish in him, but he’s a bloke that’s great with 2 players that can shoot.

Zohorna, Lafferty, Simon - Wouldn’t be the worst 4th line.

Plus he's a guy who, for better or worse, transitioned from the Extraliga to the NHL and can speak Zohorna's native language.

This is the "Who is the 12, 13, and 14 players for us?" game.
Looks like it, but if you aren't actually playing a player in the#12 position, how can you analyze how well they will be in that position? I think the last pre-season game will still have some implication on the line-up for the #11 and #12 spots. This game is more to decide the pecking order for the first call ups. But who knows what Sully is thinking...he did take a pretty nice shot to the head on Tuesday, he might not even know where his minds at.

I mean, we do have role players, yes, but why wouldn't you want a guy who performs like a L1 guy on the 4th line?

I don't think they are doing call ups based on the role they will be playing. We don't have a talent pool big enough for that. They are going BPA at the time and letting them play where they are needed.

I want to see - Simon, Zohorna, Angello. I don’t think Puus makes this roster just yet, might if he blows it up in the A, but I like SZA as the 4th line.

I like SZA too.
