As of now, pretty much what I expected, except the Gally/PAP switch.

People voting Sekac over Gallagher, lol.

EDIT: New country, new system, different ice and you want him to get 2nd line minutes right off the bat?

Well I'm pretty sure you are going to vote Bourque in the lineup, so I'm going with your optimism: Sekac makes it big

Could have also gone with Bournival here. Personally I want Gallagher with Eller and that's why I didn't pick him. Pretty good pick however. I just believe in balancing lines rather than stacking whoever is best. The goal is to win after all.

Having Bournival in the top 6 is not the best way to win. He is a good bottom 6 player however.

I think our bottom 9 will have a nice balance of scoring/two way play/grit if Bourque has really turned it around. Not holding my breath though.

Pacioretty- Desharnais- Gallagher
Chucky- Pleks- P.A.
Bournival/Sekac- Eller- Bourque
Prust- Malholtra- Weise

4th line is arguably one of the best 4th lines in the league.

Not sure about that 3rd line though.

That was the line-up I posted in the second thread (I added the extras)
Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Parenteau
Sekac - Eller - Bourque
Prust - Malhotra - Weise
extra: Bournival, Moen

Markov - Subban
Emelin - Gilbert
Beaulieu - Weaver
extra: Tinordi or Pateryn or Drewiske

Price
Budaj

So yeah, both Bourque and Sekac are in.

Maybe a few years ago.

Maybe a few years ago.

Consider moen is still in that mix. I think it's pretty good. Add in potentially bournival. There's some different skill types there to use as necessary.
