I still like either Hanley, or Bean paired with Weegar ahead of Miromanov, but that's me.
Hopefully, Pospisil helps drive the 4th line tonight, I bet he gets a point in this one.

Coronato needs a better playmaker than Backlund to set him up more. Huberdeau is your guy.
Hunt is a dependable winger, who has a bit of offense and knows how to play both sides of the puck well. It's a nice fit on Backlund's line, also because he's fresh up from the AHL and may need some support while he gets up to NHL speed.
I like the idea of Frost and Farabee together. They know each other's tendencies pretty well, and Sharky can clean up any lose pucks they generate in the offensive zone.
The 4th line has been drowning, and Klapka wasn't looking amazing the last couple games. Rooney is in by default since he's a center, but I hope Pospisil can get them to play in the offensive zone more. He's a pretty good catalyst on any line he joins, just doesn't have a ton of offensive skill to bury chanes.
Solovyov is a better skater and more physical than Hanley. This is a good upgrade IMO. Bean has been decent, and Miro didn't look completely out of place las time. Hanley and Barrie out is a good decision. Both have looked pretty poor of late.
I'm actually now looking forward to this game to see how all these changes work out.
