I like it. Haven't been able to contribute to any discussions today. But, if the lines click, its going to be a tough team to play against. I'm not really concerned with 7 years of Clarkson,
Lupul Bozak Kessel
JvR Kadri Kulemin
McClement Bolland Clarkson
Mclaren Colborne Orr
Phaneuf Gardiner
Gunnarson Franson
Liles Brennan
Holzer
Reimer/Bernier
A full season, let that first line fly again.
Second line is a great one IMO. Good combination of size, grit and shooting.
Third line, good luck scoring on them, and they have potential to put up points.
4th line... still kinda sucks haha, whatevs, they'll play like 7 mins a night.
Top d line, Gardiner has earned his place there I believe. He was their best defender in the playoffs, and he's still young and getting better.
3-4, Franson has a decent anchor and they can earn their keep.
5-6 is a mess, and needs work.
Reimer and Bernier will be interesting. Plantoon them until one is chosen for the playoffs.
