TBL: TEAM OF THE CENTURY
This is one of those surprising moments where you make like four call ups and nobody shit the bed so you have a sense of security or depth behind injuries.
Hedman - Raddysh
Sergachev - Perbix
De Baad - Cernak
Lilleberg, Fleury, Myers, Crozier, Carlile, Thompson and in that order, probably round out the #7/8 and any depth needed for injuries or playoffs. I like Crozier more than Myers but I think the amount of call ups Myers has gotten shows they value him more. Crozier has been surprisingly calm.
The issue is that top six coming up against other teams top lines. I don't think it's championship material, at all. I think Perbix and CDH will be liabilities and given how flat or underwhelming Sergachev and Cernak have been or will be coming back from time off is another factor. I am so conflicted on what handed defenseman we need on a game to game basis, but we need a shutdown defenseman. Problem is, we can't afford one.

Lilleberg takes DeBaad's spot.
Sergachev better wake the f*** up. I haven't looked at his contract but that would be a great trade bait at the deadline.

Eternally grateful TBL enforcers!
I really like Lilleberg, show some promising future and not afraid to hit, this is a miracle in our softie D, but sadly he pay the price for be the rookie in this case, don't worth having him scratch all the nights and will send to AHL (Except we fail to make playoffs and some spots get open). The good news is that we have a good "young experiment" for the next season.
Crozier has been surprisingly good, but Lilleberg brings a physical game that is otherwise absent on our blueline. Heddy-Raddysh is working - Raddysh led the team in minutes tonight - I'd keep that pairing.
Heddy - Raddysh
Serge - Cernak
Lilleberg - Perbix
De Haan
They can give De Haan a game in place of Lilleberg every now and then to keep him feeling relevant. Fleury was starting to play well, but Lilleberg has played better from the start, so he's behind Berg in my opinion.

They could try moving Lilleberg to forward to replace Sheary. Couldn't be worse and add some more grit to the bottom 6. If one of our injury prone D go down in a game he could move back to D.
