Cogliano, Petry and a 2nd rd pick heck I would even throw Erskine in green D- line partner at times
The Caps get two solid players a pick and save some cash.

Mainly because we will have 2 very good scoring lines outside of hall and eberle’s line.

If RNH is given mainly PP & offensive duties, with Horcoff or Belanger taking the big faceoffs in the D zone i don’t think it would be too much of a problem for him.

I also think that unless RNH is outstanding in the first 9 games he should be sent back to juniors, if he is only good or coping then he should go back down to get the WJC chance and to bulk up over the year.

Too much inexperience. I know rnh is expected to be there eventually, but I think it’s too soon. Hard to know for sure though. They’ll try it in camp. I think hall and ebs can handle top line duties with horc, but I just doubt rnh can slide right in right away.

Gagner – Smyth & Hemsky
RNH – Hall & Eberle
Horcoff – Paajarvi & Omark
Belanger – Eager & Jones

Also Belanger/Horcoff taking D zone draws in place of RNH/Gagner sometimes

If RNH doesn’t still then Lander or Vande Velde or O’Marra come up and do 4th line duties. Horcoff with Eberle and Hall, Belanger with Omark and Paajarvi.

I still think Omark could end up gone by the start of the year and the third line could end up being

Hartikainen – Horcoff – Paajarvi

Agree on gags with hemsky smyth. If the nuge stays, that may change things. Who is going to center line 4 anyways?
