I lieu of current events your thoughts on bringing back a veteran defense man to help and add some cushion in case of injury? Ik we could already be out our top center for an extended period of time but just curious.

I would just let Nemeth play. If have a second injury then look around if not bring another kid up.

Even IF the team was to bring in another defenseman it would NOT be Kris Russel . He was a failure here . Not that i expect us to bring in another defenseman with the team already having 8 defenseman albeit alot of them are young and inexperienced.

Have they said how long he'll be out for? I remember when I had a hairline fracture in my knee, that it didn't stop me from playing hockey for more than a week, and it fully healed in about 5-6 weeks. That said Assuming he's back
What it should be
Benn-Seguin-Hudler
Janmark-Spezza-Sharp
Roussel-Faksa-Hemsky
McKenzie-Eakin-Eaves
What it likely will be
Benn-Eakin-Seguin(Eaves if Seguin Injured)
Sharp-Spezza-Hudler
Janmark-Faksa-Hemsky
Roussel-Shore-Eaves(Ritchie if Seguin Injured)

And it should be, but Janmark doesn't belong on the 4th line, But it is Ruff So that's where he'll likely be put
The bottom six is pretty interchangeable this year, it's pretty tough to distinguish one as L3 and the other as L4.

Truthfully Janmark should be a top 6 player, Especially over Eakin. Ruff will do 1 of 3 really stupid things
He'll Either Sandwich Eakin between Benn and Seguin, or Bump Faksa to the 4th Line and put Eakin on the 3rd, or put Janmark on the 4th line. All 3 of which are Ruff level stupid, but Ruff will put Eakin with Benn and Seguin on the basis of bringing "defensive" responsibility to the line. Clearly he doesn't watch Eakin but I digress
My Bet with Hudler coming in is Eakin is our #1 center for some reason
Hudler is put with Sharp and Spezza, and Janmark gets punished with the 4th line

AHL again this year. If Klingberg gets injured then maybe he'd get a call up. But, as of right now I think Backman will get called up ahead of him for anyone else who gets hurt
Hey guys 
Is Niklas Hansson playing in Sweden for the whole year or is his loan just until the AHL season starts?

Suter will never be scratched
Pretty brilliant way to accelerate a guy's development. Put him in Flint where he will work so hard to get promoted and escape the hell hole that is Flint.

Panthers fan living in Dallas. I've adopted the Stars as my West team and was thinking about going to the first preseason game tonight. Has anyone seen anything on the lineup for tonight?
