Beartschi - Street - Kolanos
Byron - Walter - Nemisz
Sylvester - Reinhart - Horak
Laing - Olson - Bancks (Rotate in Ferland, Ruegsegger, Estoclet as needed or desired)

I hadn't really thought of that but totally agree. I don't think that Baertschi has developed very much chemistry with his line mates. Baertschi played so well last year in Portland I think because of the chemistry of him and Ty Rattie. Ty Rattie knew how to get open and shoot the puck. I don't think him and Horak are good fits. Most of Horaks goals have been rebound goals, because Horak has good hockey sense and knows how to be in the right place at the right time. What Horak isn't is a sniper or a play maker. Kolanos knows how to sneak past coverage and snipe the puck. It's unfortunate that we don't really have an other top line talent in the prospect pool, so I definitely agree that Kolanos is the next best thing.
