Looks like Abby on the 4th line and AA on the first is in preparation for AA getting demoted if/when things go sour.
The defense pairings are better, but that third line. I do not expect Nyquist to be burried behind Sheahan for long.
I think your reading a little too much to the listing of the lines. Nyquist had more minutes then Sheehan and Tatar in Game 1, Helm did as well but his was mainly PK... Larkin and Goose both played 17 minutes. While the rest of the guys on those two lines played 14:30-15:30
I think in reality and looking st the usage, we have this as our set up
2nd line A
2nd line B
2nd line C
4th line

This should be another loss based on the rosters alone. Florida is improved from last season and while losing Huberdeau is a bummer for them, it shouldn't matter too much in the long run. I'll guess a 5-3 loss.
We'll need to get back on track when we play our first game at home.

D should still take time for them to adjust after losing 3 of their top 4 D. Lucky for them, ours is worse. I'm still happy Brad Boyes is not on that team. For some reason he ****ing killed us every single time.
