I like it alot. Good job, we can still add somebody with our almost $6 million in cap savings as well. Like a Forsberg for a cheap 1 year deal or somebody good. Just don't know who is left?

I like those lines too, although I may be inclined to breakup the Lebda/Rafalski combo and put one with Chelios and one with Lilja, just for a bit more size. As for free-agents left, I have no idea. Does anyone feel like organising a list?

I forgot Ference and Thomas Kopecky. Brad is prolly just a spot suit-up/fighter but Kopecky is a young guy who I really like and needs to play.

Where do we insert Thomas? And who gets bumped down or to GR?

EDIT: I forgot Jakub Kindl too, another very young (20!), very talented D-man. He should prolly play in GR one more year than come up and take Chelios' spot, right?

Where does Quincey fit in also?

Wow, we have a lotta good young players who should be playing...

Maybe give Grigorenko a year in Grand Rapids and put Kopecky on the 4th line?

We certainly do. I haven't been able to see any of the games on TV (damn Australian networks :evil:

) so can someone tell me what lines and defensive pairings we've been using this season? Thanks.
