Moon...Saad did well with Toews out of the gate last year...Bickell seemed to wilt a little under the pressure of living up to the new contract, and started to take off recently when dropped down with grinders like Shaw and Kruger...

In any case, Q really shuffles lines a lot after puck drop...and, of course, you KNOW Q is concerned when he goes Sharp/Toews/Kane to load up the top line.

Edit: In the pre-season, Saad was given every opportunity to slot in between Sharp and Hossa as the #2 Center...he did miserably there, and now it is between Handzus (who looks WAYYYyy too slow this year), Kruger (more suited to a 3rd line to play as a Defensive forward), and Pirri (who lit up the AHL in scoring last year)
