Pezzetta - Dvorak - Gallagher
Heineman, Roy

Matheson - Guhle
Hutson - Savard

Everyone else to Laval.

Play Heineman against Boston on the opening back-to-back then Pezzetta in against Ottawa. Roy gets the start vs Pittsburgh. Rotate until someone wins the job, or someone else gets hurt.

Heineman and Roy to Laval.

Kapanen back to Sweden.

ABB to start, which sucks because he's another smaller player, but none of the others have played better than him and he honestly hasn't played that good.

Or at the very least ABB as the 13th and Heineman and Roy to Laval.

And how do we split it? Make it a big and painful to play against second line?
Newhook - suzuki - CC
Slaf - Dach - Armia
Heineman - Dvo - Kapanen
Gally - Evans - Anderson

Any other option we see? Go full youth audition mode,
Kapanen - suzuki - CC
Slaf- Dach - Roy
Heineman - Dvo - Armia
Gally - Evans - Anderson

Any other option?

Oddly enough, I would keep Suzuki and Slaf on the same "duo". A CC/Suzuki duo may be too easy to play against due to size.

Nick and Cole had career years last year, and were not easy to play against............imagine the points they could put up if we could fix the PP??
Slaf is a very nice add to that line also.............but size has never really been an issue for the first two guys.....
