Versteeg and Chiasson are gone. Always just a stop gap. Brouwer holds onto Lazar's stop until he proves otherwise or vegas.

I still think the line to make is Tkachuk, Bennett, Jankowski.

Tkachuk shouldn't be on the top line just because he needs someone to watch his back and Johnny and Mony aren't that type of players. Backlund has done a great job this year in that regard.

I know people are saying to not get too excited but come on. I don't think we've ever had a prospect look as polished as Janko does in the AHL. Slotting him in on a stacked 3rd line doesn't seem outrageous.
