We just have too many kids seemingly prepared to try and win a spot. Clogging it up with a Rick Nash type seems foolish.
JQ, Anderson, McLeod, Speers, Lappin, and outside chance for a guy like Seney or even Gignac.
At the end of this past season, Lappin talked about the need to get quicker. Coleman noted that that was a point of emphasis for him last offseason. Now Coleman had good speed to begin with, but something did seem to click for him last year, will be interesting to see if Lappin can indeed improve that quickness to the point where he could be an effective NHL player.
After seeing him in NJ this past year I'm not all that high on Lappin but I thought the same about Coleman last year. So I do not rule out him playing the role of 13th fwd, mixing him into the lineup here and there. I'd be pleasantly surprised if he can work his way into that 4th RW spot.
