Voight, Ray Bourque has to be on your top PP unit and top PK unit. He can handle the ice time to play #1 in all situations.

I would also suggest dressing Rolston. Unless I am missing something, Litzsnberger and Shutt on the PK is pretty terrible.

Same for Bouwmeester. You need a PKer better than Timonen

Who would you take out for them?

Since you're not using Ciccarelli on the PP, I would probably replace him with Rolston. That would give you good PKers in Rolston and Peca. After that, Oates may be your 3rd best PKer.

Bouwmeester replaces Timonen.

 

[pappyline]

I agree Ciccarelli is the guy I would remove from the lineup and dress Rolston. The trouble is you would end up with Rolston playing out of position. You are kind of between a rock and a hard place as I don't think you would want any of your centers removed from the lineup. Litzenberger can play all 3 forward positions so could be moved around as needed. He would be a good fit as RW on your 3rd line as he can be used in either a offensive or defensive position. He also played the pp
point in both Chicago and Toronto so might be a good fit playing the point on your second PP unit with Bourque. I don't remember Litz being used on the PK a lot but he sure would fit better there than Shutt.

 

[Dreakmur]

I would also mover Litz up. Pavelski can play RW while Rolston plays LWon the 4th line
