That's only 20 players though... Is Read a 4th line winger? I mean, unless the new coach is all about spreading ice time around.

Read may not be a 4th liner as we've come to know them, but he's one on my team. I believe in a 4th line that can play a regular shift.

I agree, I am tired of the traditional formula, maybe Sestito isn't the ideal line mate? Or Perhaps Read would fit better 'up' the lineup somewhere with another player moving on...

Asham on waivers.

$1m cap--wouldn't mind him for the 4th line; although, they may be trying to pinch pennies and get guys at the league min. with that line in order to use cap space in other areas.

If you have guys like Schenn in the lineup then Sestito can miss most games.

I like the Docs trade proposal.

You could even have a 4 th line of
Booth/Higgins Gordon Asham

Asham on waivers.

Me too . Would keep other teams honest .I would pick him up off waivers.

Sedin Sedin Kassian
Burrows Kesler _____ - (Iginla?)
Higgins Schenn Booth
Sestito ____ Read - (Steckel/Lapierre/Hendricks)

Hamhuis Bieksa
Garrison Schenn
____ Corrado

Luongo
Lack

Leaves just under $6 million to fill those blanks... That roster under Torts would be (frank)ing badass IMO.

I don't know if we want to do Lappy again. Not saying he was bad for the role he played I am just not a fan. I wouldn't mind seeing Clowe but I hear he wants a stupid raise after a horrible season. A 6 or 7 D that would be a tough call. Blum/Schultz?

You're selling Booth short man... Imagine the 3rd line forecheck of a Higgins/Schenn/Booth line... INSANE.

Not a huge fan of Gordon... With Schroeder being the odd man out of that lineup I'd be trying to trade him to WPG for Cormier+ (yes, I'm still on the Cormier for 4th line C kick).

Lappy is going to play for his friend in NY

Has any of our 4th lines ever got to have a regular shift under our previous bench boss?

I expect one or maybe two of Gaunce Shinkaruk Lain or Horvat to make the team this year.

My money is on Shinkaruk and Horvat . I know put them in JR. This is a different year because of the cap and we have holes to fill with no money.

We need to roll out 4 lines. Asham is a good banger.

I love Clarkson, but he is gonna get paid. I bet Edm will have to give him 6.5 per over 6. I say he goes to Ottawa for 6 mil

Asham and Boyle for Higgens and Dale W.

Sounds like EDM has something on the go with DAL to send Shawn Horcoff there.
