This is not to say either SOB or Butler should be on the top pairing, but it's more of a necessity and not wanting to throw Brodie to the wolves.
Calgary
O'Brien/Butler - Giordano
Brodie - Wideman
O'Brien/Butler - Russell
Breen - Cundari
Abbotsford
Smith - Ramage
Wotherspoon - Billins
MacKenzie - Culkin (or vet AHLer)
Martin

I highly doubt Breen or Cundari will be #7 over Smith. I'd rather have Breen and Cundari logging huge minutes in the AHL than sitting in the press box.
