Line Combos: First line winger or third line winger and more juggling

[weaponomega]

What about guys like Matt Cullen, Jason Chimera, Glencross for the third line?

I think I would rather see Chiarelli fill the third line whole than get a guy to put on the first line and move Horton to a sport where he doesn't appear to be a natural fit.

Or a guy like Dorsett for the forth line and move Paille up to the third line.

Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Chimera/Glencross/Cullen - Kelly - Peverley
Paille - Campbell - Thornton

or

Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Paille - Kelly - Peverley
Dorsett - Campbell - Thornton

The strength of this team is to have four strong lines. The Bruins are still notorious for not scoring a lot of goals or winning games by a goal. They need another sniper. The fourth line is more of a grinder line anyway with some speed and some potential to score. The weak link is presently- Bourque.

Lucic - Krejci - Horton
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Kelly - Weiss- Peverley
Paille - Campbell - Thornton

They also need someone on the backend. I think our defense could use another puck mover. Ryan Whitney would be a possible candidate.

Something is needed to help the powerplay.

love Morrow even though lot of miles, reminds me of Kevin Dineen; just saying that Chia is conservative and loyal, and if the Bruins today are the Bruins March 31st he will tweak....any deal of significance will be based on an equally significant need

sign me up for Morrow or Ryder, but are the Stars going to be sellers and the Bruins buyers

My uncle who passed away a few years back, lived in Texas and was a really big Stars fan, and loved Brenden Morrow. I would love to see him in Boston, as he became one of my favorite players just through discussions with my uncle.

Love to see Jagr in Boston.

Lucic - Krejci - Jagr
Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Bourque - Peverley - Horton
Paille - Kelly - Campbell
Thornton

PP 1:

Lucic - Seguin - Jagr
Krejci - Hamilton/Chara

PP 2:

Marchand - Bergeron - Horton/Peverley
Bourque - Chara/Seidenberg

No team in the league would have that kind of depth. As much as I love Thornton, I really like the idea of a checking line with Paille - Kelly - Campbell, they could go between 13-16 minutes a night and have enough offence and speed to be a threat.

Horton gives Peverley and Bourque the bigger body and the sniper and will create all kinds of room for 49 & 48 to do their thing.

Bergeron with Marchand & Seguin; nuff said

Jagr joining Krejci and Lucic. Krejci has openly said he'd like to play with Jagr, they could be a dynamic combination and add in Lucic who has been a beast so far this season and that is a scary, scary line.

Rex worked out awright, ah_

This. Hope he goes for someone sexy. Would be THRILLED with Iginla, happy with Hemsky (more of a Ryder).

Lucic-Krejci-Horton

Morrow-Kelly-Pevs
Paille-Campbell-Thornton
