Holloway Thomas Snuggerud
McM McT Buch
Dvorsky Suter Neighbours
Johnston Finley Torpchenko

Berggren, Dube

Stenberg first man up. Dube and Berggren in, Johnston and Torp out of we need more speed and scoring.
They didn’t play dvorsky on the wing last year so I don’t see any reason why they would this year. Whenever suter and dvorsky were on the same line last year dvorsky was the center.
Fair point. Was just getting them on the same line.
It’s totally feasible that suter plays on the 3rd line. He’s been an effective nhler for a long time. And if dvorsky struggles he may play center. I just think dvorsky gets that look before suter.

I keep seeing people slotting Suter at 4C. I just don't see that happening. The Blues need Finley on the PK. They need him in the lineup.

I see Suter on the 3rd line or I see him traded.

I do believe Walker has value and will be on somebody's opening day roster.

I believe the odds are it's the Blues but he could get traded too.
