damn, was hoping to see alexeyev play
Too early to attempt read them IMO. They're more or less giving the slated Hershey centers an opportunity in this one. I know they like Stephenson better at wing but it will be tough to go with an inferior player at 4C in any head-to-head battle largely for that reason alone. Still a lot of time for that to shake out, though, and it may also be that they feel confident Stephenson can switch back to center very quickly/easily.Stephenson on LW and Dowd scratched is interesting if you're trying to read tea leaves about the 4C spot.
In mid-season form already.Dowd gets the scratch? I guess he is getting ready for the regular season?
Damn, Chara looks healthy. He can play easily 2 or 3 years more.
