Post-Game Talk: Goodbye 2013 | Pens-1 Devils-2

[Al Smith]

Sill/Vitale/Megna should be our 4th line. Waive Kobasew. Try to bury Glass in a trade. Adams can sit down when we're healthy.

All that would be great, assuming the second and third line were stocked with wings better than Sill and Megna, and I don't think we have that luxury. The loss of Kobasew could happen, but Glass and Adams aren't going anywhere, so the whole scenario, while attractive, will likely never happen.

Glass was scratched in the Bruins series last year, so there may be some hope come playoff time.

Some on here are talking about Megna being an option for Malkin's line. Which is a pretty big reach for a team with Cup aspirations.

He's best off in a limited role where he keeps things simple and we can maximize his skating ability.

Don't disagree, but who are your four wings on lines 1, 2 and 3 who are better than Megna (other than Kunitz and Neal)? Bennett, JJ(?) and . . . .

Kunitz-Crosby-Trade
Beau-Malkin-Neal
Jokinen-Sutter-Trade
Sill-Vitale-Megna
Adams

We needed at least a 3rd liner before Dupes went down. Now we need a top 6 guy as well.
