I think it depends on where Sutter sees Dube in the lineup. If Dube plays in the top 6 then I think it is Lewis' place to lose. Lewis - Backlund - Coleman seemed pretty good at shutting teams down last year.
If Coleman plays on the 2nd line then I think Sutter tries Lucic. Lucic - Backlund - Dube as a 3rd line that's hard on the forecheck with a good cycle game.
Personally, I hope that one of Pelletier/Ruzicka/Phillis takes the spot and runs with it.
