So I assume Meloche is the guy that they'll put in the lineup in place of Dillon so now he gets a shot to prove that he deserves to stay there. If nothing else, this allows them to put Ferraro back on the left side as he pretty much hit a wall since being moved to the right side. Simek will likely get another chance with Burns to get back to where he was before his knee injury and honestly depending on where the team sees him and his knee, they may want to think about moving him as well. I don't know. Seems like they could only get a 4th or a 5th for him at this stage.
Simek-Burns
Vlasic-Heed
Ferraro-Meloche
That seems like the way to go. Middleton being in and pushing Ferraro again to the right side seems dumb when you're putting up the white flag for the season. Playing Ferraro where he should play and working around that makes the most sense to make his game better since they actually will need him regardless of moves next season.
