I'm sure I am not the only one who has been completely underwhelmed by Andrew Ladd. He was pretty much invisible in the game against Finland and the only time I noticed him against Switzerland was when he was coughing up the puck. He reportedly didn't play particularly well at the camp and he didn't do a whole lot to improve his standing here. I really think Sutter needs to make him the 13th forward.
Perry has played pretty well and it is obvious he has infinite more skill than Ladd. (I also think talk of him being a liability are grossly exaggerated) If Perry doesn't have a regular spot in the top-4 lines, I'm going to be pretty dissapointed.
Here are my suggestions for lines:
Bergeron - Crosby - Colliton
Dawes - Richards - Stewart
Perry - Carter - Getzlaf
MacArthur - Fraser - Dixon
I really like the idea of slotting Perry in alongside Carter & Getzlaf. He adds a lot more skill to the line and gives Canada three dominant offensive lines. Getzlaf & Carter are also well rounded enough to negate Perry's (overstated) shortcomings.
