With a loss thursday, we will be out of it. These are the lines we should run
Ruslan and Maggio get some time with real NHL players. Ruslan is make or break, so 9 or so games on a top line will show if he has what it takes. If not we can move on from him, but there is no point in a call-up to the 4th line wing with Cizikas and Clutter. Maggio has some time but playing with Brock and Lee could work well (powerforward, big sniper and playmaker who skates well? Good fit IMO). MacLean gets time off the 4th line and just a look at Liukas. Do I think he is a future NHLer? Probably not, but a look at someone new. Get Bolduc some time with an NHL veteran (like we did with Chara and Greene). Yes they are bad, we all know that, but Bortuzzo has some insight on how to stick around in the NHL, so Bolduc could gain a good amount. Give Skarek two starts, wanna see him a bit. I know he has been bad but a look at a new goalie to give a little push to Sorokin and Varly would go a long way
