Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Weiss
Nyquist-Helm-Franzen
Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco
Abdelkader-Andersson-Miller
Glendening, Callahan
If bottom 6 guys get hurt, call Ferraro and Netrasil up. If top 9 guys get hurt, call up Mantha and Pulkkinen.
I like Netrasil more than I like Callahan, but I'd give Callahan the extra forward spot so Netrasil can keep playing in Grand Rapids. I want to get Weiss going, so I put him with the twins. I don't want to separate the kid line, so I put Helm with Mule and Goose. Helmer's Arc is what I'd call that line.(goose and mule are animals.) I like Andersson more than Glendening, so he gets the nod down the middle for 4th line center. Miller's a very reliable PKer so he gets that other spot.
Kronwall-Ouelett
Smith-Dekeyser
Ericsson-Quincey
Lashoff/Kindl
Alternate call ups for Marchenko, Jensen, and Backman throughout the season.
I don't want KFQ anywhere near X-Man, Kaiser, or Smith. So that leaves Ericsson and Kronwall. The way I figure it, Ericsson is the most reliable defensive defenseman to cover up for Quincey's terrible puck possession. I'd sooner rid him(Quincey) from the roster altogether, but that seems impossible. He holds no value. X-Man plays with our best defenseman, Kaiser is a steady presence for Smith to do his thing.
Howard
Gustafsson
Monster's terrible, but give him the back up job for the season, and let this be Mrazek's last season in GR. Though, who knows, Mrazek may force his way onto the team if injuries occur or something. Besides, we should let Paterson or Coreau get AHL time with McCollum.
