I think we will end up seeing:
Franzen - Zetterberg - Nyquist
Helm- Weiss - Abdelkader
Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco
Miller - Glendening - Cleary
I could live with this lineup, Until Dats gets back.

Helm-Weiss-Abdelkader drawing 2nd line matchups concerns me a bit.
Me to, but it is definitely a Babcock lineup. They should be solid defensively though. This would also allow the kid line to take advantage of other teams third lines. Seems like solid Babcock logic to me. I would like to see Pulkkinen's shot on the PP like you suggested, but I just don't see him making the team out of camp.
Joakim Andersson is among those fighting for a spot in the middle. He was bumped in the lineup last year by Luke Glendening, but Andersson is sound defensively, has worked on his foot speed, and has a slight vote of confidence from Babcock.
"He's in no danger, I don't think, but who knows," Babcock said. "It's a competitive situation. Andy at the end, Glennie took his spot. Andy is skating great, he's way lighter, he's very fit. He was sick the whole second half last year, we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He's healthy, he's playing good, we expect a lot from him."
Gonna be interesting if he gets that spot back.
