I'm at the point where I'd like to see Gilbert go back down (no need for 8 defense) and Phillips come up and play with Huberdeau and Backlund. Backlund is a rookie whisperer, and Huberdeau would be ecstatic to have a winger that hasn't played dump and chase all year.

I'd also like to see Rooney traded/waived and Ben Jones called up to play the fourth line. He has more energy than anyone playing on that line right now, and can go to the tough places on the ice. A duo of Dube-Jones and a rotation of Ritchie/Lewis/Lucic on the other wing could actually deserve 12 minutes of icetime a night.
