Bailey is cooked, would rather see someone from PRO get a spot. Also, no shot Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch.

Agree, it’s gonna be Zboril scratched, might come in for Forbs in nights we need more offense. I’d also like to see either lysell or merkulov get minutes

I wouldn't be too sure... I tend to agree with you that zboril is the man out but there is merit in the discussion that if this is truly a bridge year and zboril is on the last year of his contract that we need to at least see if he was worth that 1st round pick by giving him his fair share of games. Not saying he is going to prove himself but I am willing to give him a shot, and yank him if he looks like trash.

Depending on what the Swayman and Frederic caphits are, I have Forbort being buried for cap space to run with a 23 man roster with some rookies in the lineup. Zboril-Shattenkirk the 3rd pair.
