Ugly as fuck but 2 points is 2 points.

nucks are sluts, we'll take anything at dis point huehue

Quite the logjam when we're 100% healthy..

Ideally I think I'd like to see

S.S.Burrows
Higgins - Bonino - Vrbata
Matthias - Richardson - Kassian
Kenins - Horvat - Hansen

Vey & Dorsett as extras

I feel like Sedins are more consistent with Burrows and you can always swap him and Kassian if things are dull.
higgins, bonino, vrbata gives you a somewhat gritty line with the finish of sometimes bonino and most the time Vrbata
Nothing needs to be said about line 3A
Nothing needs to be said about line 3B
Vey has been shit lately and Dorsett is plugging it up.

Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Bieksa
Sbisa - Corrado

Weber, Clendening, Stanton left out (lol)

I love Sbisa's play recently but I still have nightmares of Sbisa & Bieksa pairing so I split them up.
Weber has been good recently but I'm not a huge fan.
Clendening has been shitballs to the max.
Stanton has been steady and depending on play can be shifted in/out the lineup. I was quite high on him last season.

Also, Corrado sent down to Utica for conditioning.

vs STL

- Crazy game. Awful start but we did a great job bouncing back. Looked like it was over at 5-2 but then the Blues came roaring back. I thought it was a pretty even game in general, so it's fair that it was decided in a shootout. One could consider this a character win with the way we were down early and didn't collapse after giving up a late 3 goal lead. It was also a very chippy and physical affair and nobody on the team backed down.

- Lack was just okay, he needs to be better. Second game in a row in which he let in 5. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays next game against the Sharks but then Markstrom gets the start against the Coyotes after that.

- Pretty balanced attack from our forward lines. Everyone played over 13 minutes except Vey, who wasn't bad IMO. I Vrbata.

- Hamhuis with another beastly game (he's pretty much carrying our team right now) but every other D-man was inconsistent. Sbisa had his first bad game in a while and Clendening continues to do dumb things.

Utica fans saying Gaunce is starting to develop a bit and Pedan (acquired from the Isles with a 3rd round pick earlier this season) has become their best player all of a sudden.

Shinkaruk still struggling but he'll get a pass this year because of his injury.

Most are concerned about Jensen's development, or lack thereof. Doesn't look like he's ever going to figure out the AHL. They might as well give him a shot in the NHL as a last resort and just cut ties like they did with Schroeder if it doesn't work.

nucks aquire conacher

Baertschi

Bought while his value was low. Decent trade when it comes to risk/reward, I guess.

e/ Also helps to add an LW prospect and a skilled one, too.

He's going to be Hodgson 2.0 and he and his parents will pester your gm for ice time.
