I agree, Lewis, is probably a lock in the lineup. I think Dube and Ruzicka are the two most likely to come out of the lineup but like Sutter says that is up to them. Can’t see Calgary making a deal until closer to the deadline once the see how consistent those two can be and the impact of Toffoli.
I also think over the next 15 or so games Monahan will become the big X factor, he has really gained strides on the defensive side of the puck and in face offs. If he continues playing consistently with Dube and Toffoli and that gets him going, it maybe the extra impact player we get at the deadline and I am still optimistic that can happen.
