In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
You have 8 defensemen there though. Not 7.
Yes, 4 spots - lineup spots, I understand - for 5 dmen, and Folin (if used correctly) will be the designated sitter and spot player. I think it is reasonable to expect that Hextall doesn't want a youngster to be sitting for long stretches, which leaves two primary options:
- Sanheim and Myers compete for the 6th spot, with the other going to the Phantoms
- One of these 5 get dealt elsewhere
