I'm not sure how it would work, but I'd much rather have Neil on the 4th and Greening on the 3rd line.

^Me too.

Switch Butler with Alfie? Limit Alfie's ice time 5 on 5?

Well, I don't think we're going after any UFAs other than a backup.

Something like that. Just a guess how things will go right now.

Don't let him work the PK. 5 on 5 you need Alfi if they want any chance at success. Hopefully they can roll 4 lines consistantly.

People really think Zib will make the team next year ?

Absolutely.

If we stand pat with, or add to, our forwards during that first week of July, I think we'll have our answer. To me, signing another top 6er would be a pretty clear indication to me that they don't plan on having him play this year -- or they want him to come to camp and dominate to the point where he forces another guy off the roster.

Gonna be a tough camp, I think, for some of our guys. Regin, Foligno, Condra -- they all need to show up and impress.

Da Costa and O'Brien will be breathing down his neck. He needs to do more than have a good camp.

They'll give the guy with the 1-way contract a free pass like they always do.

I guess nobody noticed that NEELY is our backup I'm OK with that. Always good for a quote, and that *is* a way to get to be GM.

Are you sure Filatov should start on the top line? I'd prefer him to play with Alfie to start and that should be 2nd line. Maybe even 3rd -- can you imagine a 2B line of Filatov-Zibanejad-Alfredsson?
