Are these lines what you want to see? or what you expect Muller to put out there?

Kirk said Staal's on sperate lines, and he wants production out of third line. Aside from some AHL stats, that's all we have to go on.
It's frightening that an NHL general manager would make such a comment.Comments from Jimmy on the roster and other stuffs:

-Says he wants to add one maybe two 3rd/4th liners this season (maybe not immediately)
-Dan Ellis will get an NHL contract
-Joseph Corvo adds a clear upgrade over last year's defense
-Thinks Welsh should make the team "based on size alone" (maybe part of Kirk's "big" 4th line)
Wait wait wait... did Winnipeg re-sign Kyle Wellwood?!?
can you guys imagine what our roster would look like if we had a competent GM who didnt consistently make poor or often ridiculous decisions. Think back over the years at what we've lost and what we've acquired (Kaberle for Cole, Anthony Stewart who can't even perform in the British hockey league (no offense he seems like a nice guy but please) etc). Imagine this:
Staal, Staal (beginning in 2013-14, being patient and waiting a year for him to inevitably sign here and we wouldn't have had to lose a better player in Brandon Sutter AND a prospect), Brandon Sutter, Ray Whitney, Cole (how much Eric depends on him to be even a mediocre player), Semin, Skinner, Cullen, Faulk, Allen
Now we have these pieces we do have ( and just like the previous poster said) and how to make them work? Putting Jordan on Skinner's line is going to be problematic because Jordan will begin to buddy with Skinner and Eric will go into his pouty diva mode. And yet J and E can't be on the same line. Meanwhile it looks like we're going to still have players like Larose who don't belong anywhere above the 4th line. IDK
We have big gaps on defense. And JR seriously feels we need another 3rd or 4th liner? Really? Really? We have more 3rd and 4th liners than ****** have ****
He wouldn't have been a fit here anyway. JR wants size. Hockey playing ability is optional.
I don't think that roster would be possible money-wise even if we were to spend to the cap and get rid of deadweight like Ruutu. At best you could probably work in probably 2 of Sutter/Cole/Allen/Whitney/Cullen. I agree with the sentiment, though.
Yes, but the general idea of JR being a terrible general manager is something that can be agreed upon. And even Cole would be an upgrade on Ruutu, who is completely useless even when healthy....You hate Cole and Cullen, do you not?
