This is very very close to the starting lineup and I'm a fan of the combinations. I would like to see Severson on the top pairing and Merill out and i would expect Wood or Fiddler over Speers but who knows

Unless Bennett proves something I'd expect to see DSP on the top line RW with Hall and Henrique once the season starts.

A lot of regulars in there tonight

Rags dressing their regulars tonight or no?

What if Zajac was moved to RW and Palmieri slid up to 1st line - we could do something like this - Just a thought

Hall - Henrique - Palmieri
Camm - Zacha - Zajac
Boucher - Blandisi/JJ - DSP
JJ/Wood - Fiddler - Kalinin

8 regulars. Just enough to secure the W

We are just so thin at top talent on the right side outside of Palmieri what do we have DSP and Bennet? Lappin has shown some skill and tenacity but only in a small sample so who kno0ws if he can make the team. Both Cammaleri and Boucher have nice one-time shots, do you think either of them could slot in on top line RW? Boucher had success on RW in juniors so he has played there before. Cam seems pretty flexible, and slots in wherever needed, he really seems to have a great hockey IQ and vision, him with HH could be something to see.

Zajac is the best face off guy on the team. Now I know we suck at faceoffs but still there is no way he is ever moved to RW.

Just brainstorming line-ups I thought about the face offs after that but I honestly don't know what the faceoff % of the up and coming centers have, Zacha, Blandisi, Q, etc. I was also thinking longer term. There is an article on AATJ about Zajac moving to 3rd line the make room to develop Zacha like we did with Rico (playing with top talent from the get go). I was also thinking of ways we could plug the RW disparity and Zajac is so good 2-way I thought him with Zacha could be good for development.
