However the whole exercise is a little bit moot at the moment because with Nakladal and Wideman out we only have two righties (Hamilton and Engelland) so two lefties are going to have to play together. Because of that I wonder if they'll re-unite Gio and Brodie just until Nakladal or Wideman is back.

Gio-Brodie
Jokipakka-Hamilton
Wotherspoon-Engelland

You could switch Spoon and Joki but I think its more likely this way.
righties/lefties - whatever

my point is that this is the time of the season to experiment. Got to try and see what the unknown guys can bring. I cant say that I have been dissapointed in what I have seen so far from Nakadal, Wotherspoon and Jokipakka. Let them kill some penalties - we suck at that. Let them play unsheltered minutes.
