Huh. This is actually, a good reasonable post that provides some serious food for thought. I am blown away that this came out of you.

Anyway, it’s pretty simple.
Second line: Debrusk - Krejci - Kase.
Third line: Bjork - Studnicka - Coyle (or Coyle centering Studnicka)

Ritchie on the 4th line, traded for a 5th, press box, or taken out back and shot.

Well said. Gonna most likely be a Blidh/Ritchie battling on that 4th line. Wagner has also played a decent amount on the left side in the past so i could see a 14-52-83 on some nights as well. Gonna be a lot of cooks in the kitchen so they make a move, but i think Stud is most likely gonna bully his way onto the roster and most likely be in that third line spot to begin with Coyle. Not sure if another year in the A is gonna be what he needs. I also think Freddy could make a legitimate push as well.

I would be blown away if studnicka plays another year in the AHL.

Same here. Sweeney also had hinted also about potentially bringing some A guys up sooner than later have to think him, Freddy, Vaak are in the mix. Stud being the first call.
