I am sure this is close to what comes out. That fourth line has some great character and winning history, but will possibly one of the worst 4th lines in n the league analytically. I would much rather sprinkling in Ruzicka, Gawdin, Pelletier in place of Richardson and Lewis, and slowly up and down the 3rd and 5th lines. Absolutely love Lucic, his personality, his room presence and past accomplishments. But he and these father time signings to make Sutter happy are greatly stunting the growth and opportunity for some talented prospects. Time will tell but signing Sutter and continuing to sign Old slow plugs is going to drag us into another mediocre season.
Worst fear.....they fire Tre and replace him with Sutter as GM. I think it's time for Tre to move on if he can't change the culture, get a first line center and RW talent, and make it past the first round. But please not Sutter.
