Can they really be worse than the 5-6 guys have been giving us?

I do not believe that the 4 game hiccup can be any cause for hesitation to put Schenn back in the lineup when he is ready.

The cluster (bad word here) that ensued last time was Lavi's fault. There was not a need to reshuffle the whole lineup.

I want Schenn as the 3rd line center or wing depending on where Couturier plays.

Talbot should be on the 4th line and perhaps Simmonds and Rinaldo.

The only hesitation with this is if Rinaldo can play the extra minutes and not go off the deep end. If not hello Harry Z.

This gives a monster 4th line that plays 10-12 minutes a game.

Third Line

Schenn. Couturier. Read

Minutes interchangeable with Talbots line depending on how they are playing. Three rookies on one line may be a problem come late in the season admittedly.

At least this gives Lavi time to slowly work in other line combinations.

Jagr has been a nice surprise so far. Knocks on him before the season were that he would sulk and distance himself from the team if things were not going well.

I am not seeing that and when does the suggestion to possibly sign him for another year start?
