Description

Jackets should try these lineups. Wennberg thrived his 1st year at top center with skilled wingers, so playing between Nyquist & Atkinson should help Wennberg's scoring & confidence. Dubois is experienced now, and will help solidify both Texier & Bjorkstrand's play. Foligno, Jenner, and Anderson played extremely well together for most of the year. 4th line duty for Robinson, Bemstrom and Dubi/Nash will help them develop and possibly score against other teams' 4th lines.

If Bemstrom is going to be on the 4th line, you are better off leaving him in Cleveland.

If Bemstrom is going to be on the 4th line, you are better off leaving him in Cleveland.

I would respectfully disagree. If he has the ability to play at the NHL level, the Jackets play their best game when they are able to roll 4 lines evenly.
The days of 6-7 minute playing time/games for 4th liners is well behind us (if that were the case, i would agree with you and have him play in Cleveland).
I am not saying he should stay there on the 4th line...but giving him opportunity with 12 minutes a night at the NHL level against other teams' 3rd/4th lines would help his development, as well as give him a chance to contribute to have balanced production throughout the line-up.
There would also be less pressure on him to produce on the 4th line, until he settles in and gets comfortable with NHL size rinks, the timing of his game, etc.
