Namestnikov wasnt my first choice in centers but I like the signing. Good 2 way guy and I agree he slots in as the 2nd center behind Larkin.

Better than Filppula. I think they'll probably try and flip between him and there's been talk all summer of trying Fabbri at center as well. If neither of them stick then I guess we can move Filppula up but ideally he's 3rd line

I guess this is how the Rangers have felt looking at the Lightning in recent years.

Namestnikov, Erne, Fipplula (yes I know he's orginally a Red Wing). I sure would love to add Johnson to the group I'll even pay you (but I'm not the GM).

Love the signing but I don’t think we should pencil him into that center slot since he hasn’t played it recently.

Could we see Svech, Namestnikov, Timashov for one of the lines.

I can't see fabri working out at center.

Blashil will have Larkin, Filppula, Helm and Nielsen down the middle. LOL, JK.

I hope its Larkin Namestnikov rass.

That’s sound good.

Neither can I. He doesn't drive the play. He's better suited as a complimentary piece. I only mentioned it cuz it sounds like we're gonna at least try it. I like Larkin Namestnikov Filppula, and at some point bring Ras over and give him in a shot at that 3rd C spot, as you said.
