Drake and Mellanby

[topshelf331]

With Drake and Mellanby not playing tonight. How do you think they will alter the lines tonight. Maybe by throwing cajanek on the first line with demitra on the right? Or just shifting hereema up with the rest of the rw's.

I read that they will line up this way.

Walt - Demitra - Rycroft
Sejna - Weight - Hereema
Nickulas - Cajanek - Mayers
Danton - Johnson - Low

Baron - Mac
Pronger - Jackman
Khavanov - Finley

Great thats not bad at all. Especially with the way rycroft has been playing first line duties may give him a chance to stick.

Great chance for the kids. I'd like to see them platoon with Mellanby and Drake all season long. Spread the ice time amongst them (and the d-men also).

It's a LOOOONG season.

I like the looks of that D. When Salvy and Walker return, it will be interesting to see what the coaches do with those 8.

Line-up looks good, I'm not sure about Rycroft on the top line, but we really don't have much other choice.

If Cajanek and Nicklaus have the chemistry they showed in the preseason, we have three legitimate scoring lines.

There's a report linked on another board that says Mellanby is out 4-6 weeks.
