I agree. Vector was adamant that it was Sutters coaching and he should have been paired with offensive players, but it will likely be the same this year. He just doesnt fit in a top 6 role, and top 9 may be a stretch.

they have said baertchi has a spot on the roster, and we all feel he should.

in the top 9 where is there space for stempniak??
LW
Tanguay
Cammalleri
Baertchi

RW
Iginla
Hudler
glencross (who can play either wing)

my pencilled in (guestimate) at the lineup is something along the lines of:
tanguay - backlund/cervanka - iginla
cammalleri - backlund/cervanka - hudler
baertchi - stajan - glencross
comeau - jones - jackman

comeau >> stempniak in a 4th line role.

so where does stempniak fit?

I would have preferred letting stempniak walk, and hoping bouma, nemisz, byron could step up during camp to fill the 13th forward role.
