Granlund and Jooris have nothing left to prove at the AHL level, they should stick once players start returning to the lineup. After that it gets tough.
Gaudreau-Granlund-Hudler
Glencross-Monahan-Raymond
Byron-Backlund-Jooris
Bouma-Stajan-Colborne
Bollig and Jones extras
Sucks for Sven but he could use a bit more conditioning IMO. If he plays well in the minors leading into the TDL I hope Glencross is sent packing to make room.
Of course, injuries will always be a factor, one person returns and another gets hurt. So we will probably not see a healthy lineup like this. One thing is for sure, we should be looking to trade some forwards for D as we have a major excess of depth up front but very little on the back end.
