Take out Regin out of the line-up. Put Nelson there and Grabner at the left wing.Vanek-JT-Strome (just to start)
Bailey-Nielsen-Okposo (let's attempt to rekindle the magic)
Nelson-(#16)-Clutterbuck
MM-Cizikas-McDonald
Probably wont happen, but I'd like to experiment for a few games
Going forward, I'd like to see:
Moulson ;-) JT-
Nelson-Strome-Okposo
Bailey-Sundstrom-FA
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck
Package Grabner, Nielsen, and a pick for Yandle

Regin over Grabner??![]()
I think the forward lines should look like this
Vanek - Tavares - Nelson
Bailey - Nielsen - Okposo
Grabner - Strome - Clutterbuck
Martin - Cizikas - McDonald
With the personnel we have, I agree that these are the optimal lines. Reuniting the 2nd line could jumpstart Bailey and re-ignite Frans to give us some much needed secondary scoring. Strome can be sheltered on the 3rd line and most likely get extensive PP time. Nelson's brief stint as a top line player wasn't bad at all, I'd like to see more especially with Vanek in the lineup.
Snow's offseason plan was to resign and rely solely on Nabby, plug and play Regin and Bouchard and count on Donovan to replace Streit's minutes.
It's December and the last man standing is Peter Regin.
Edit: I forgot Clutterbuck
I'd go with:
Vanek Tavares Okposo
Nelson Strome Bailey
Grabner Nielsen Clutterbuck
Martin Cizikas CMac
Cleared!!!!

lol, so Snow just just burned a $2M hole in Wang's pocket.
How many teams have to bury their key FA acquisition in the AHL before the new year? (Which begs the question how many teams only spend 1 year $2M on their key FA targets)
I hope Laviolette getting a coaching gig here wasn't relying on a different waiver wire roulette result.

I know Bailey Nielse and KO has nice chemistry last season, but I'll be pretty pissed off if Strome is brought here to play on the third line.
We're SUPPOSE to put our younger players in a position to succeed. I know we don't normally but for **** sake.
