I'm hoping we stay away from a guy that was benched in the SCF.

I'm also hoping that Peter's line-juggling comes with stability in pairs. Someone that he's describing as versatile probably won't be one of the staple pairs, but would roam between the lines where needed. I can see 6 players having some stability, and the rest of the roster being given nightly opportunities to matchup against the opposition. I like the theory, but I can see someone like Lindholm (likely the roamer) finding it tiresome to be moved around a bunch.

Time will tell if this method gives us great matchups against different opposition, or constant chemistry issues.
