<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Mikheyev didn't sign and come out and say that he took less just to play 4th line. He's a middle 6 guy.

Thornton can't keep up in the league anymore. I'd be shocked to see him more than 4th line and PP minutes.

Dubas already came out and said Dermott was playing the right side, chances are he starts off beside Muzzin. Can't call Lehtonen the teams "4th best d-man" when he hasn't played a game in North America.

Vesey didn't sign here to play AHL time. He's a veteran with grit and played with Kerfoot in college. Look for them to start off on the 3rd line together.

With all the moves the team has made, it'd be incredibly shocking to see Robertson make the team outta camp. Unless there's a taxi squad, he'll start somewhere else. Either OHL if there's a season, AHL if there is no OHL, or loaned over to a European team of OHL and AHL aren't starting a season.

I get this is just an ideal lineup but it needs some work and there's quite a bit of flaws to it</div></div>

Barabanov could say the same thing and I think his game will need more protecting whereas you can trust the 4th line as constructed to play in the D zone. Thornton had a respectable year with awful linemates. He will bounce back if they can find a match for him. I almost had Hyman on his wing and am still curious how that would look given Zach's propensity to retrieve pucks and Thornton's ability to dish them. Perhaps Robrtson on the left and shift Mik beside AM? I'm confident in this regime's willingness to experiment so I'm sure something feasible will materialize.
