Just give us a solid EFFORT so that we see what they have and we know that they have some pride.
These guys can't be that good when Dustin Brown is their top scorer.
I like your third option, keep him at centre, play wing on PP and when the bench is shortened.
Let's give him at least half a season in that position. Someone from Rochester may make some noise and make the leap to help his wing.
Antipin can skate.
McCabe and Scandella seem like the PK duo.
I hope Scandella doesn't go down too much to block crease passes, takes himself out of the play. He did it twice so far, looking like Hasek flopping around.
