I like the sound of a Versteeg-Bennett-Iginla 3rd line, I think Iginla would be a good influence on Sam. I am expecting he'd prefer to be close to his family and will go to Boston though I really hope this happens, I will be all in on this season from first puck drop.
Hard to imagine how that 4th line comes together though. Stajan is a fixture. Brouwer almost can't be dropped based on his salary. That leaves one slot at LW. Lazar is a right shot so that might bump him out of the lineup unless he can play his off wing or they move Stajan over. Hamilton is another right shot and probably becomes the 13th forward - I know lots won't like it but Gazdic is the 14th for me, perfect press box guy who can come in 15-20 games a year when needed.
Probably Hathaway with the inside track unless Janko dominates camp and they wanna play him out of position or Lazar goes to his off wing.
