I'm guessing Nashville doesn't necessarily approach a game strategy as icing a first, second, and third line, as the third line is almost, if not more competitive, than the second line - which, is an awesome feat; management has established quite a strong team, and quietly at that.
I'm surprised, however, to see Beech or Robitaille centering the second line, given that neither is that capable of doing so. Is it possible that Polie may look to acquire a centerman down the road, or is the roster more or less set in stone?
Speaking of which, what's happening with Upshall this season? Will he play in the minor system, or as a reserve, thirteenth forward?
