Should be the expected lines, right? I changed Larkin and Nyquist because they were switched mid-way last night.

A healthy Dekeyser and the addition of Green to the lineup really changes a lot.

I have no problem with Kronwall, Dekeyser and Green as our top 3 with Quincey and Ericsson floating in the 4-5 slots and Kindl pulling up the rear.

I personally don't get not trying out Ouellet at this point, maybe on the road trip. I think he would fit Blashill's system pretty well.

I'd rather have a rookie make rookie mistakes than have Smith or Kindl make rookie mistakes, so yeah, I agree.

 

[Actual Thought*]

I personally don't get not trying out Ouellet at this point, maybe on the road trip. I think he would fit Blashill's system pretty well.

I think it is still pretty unclear what that system is. Let's see how they look in 15-20 games. Either way I figure Blashill will be here for a minimum 2 years so maybe it will define itself more clearly in that time?
