Nah they’ll put Nemeth and Graves together give them as many d-zone starts and the 1st pk. Byram was playing top 4 minutes before and has great defensive underlying minutes and his skating absolutely makes the top 4 of Makar Girard Toews and him fly. McDonald has been great but he isn’t Byram. Agree with all the forward lines, though they will work LOC in.

Have to disagree with you on this one with regard to the D. Nemo and Graves may do a lot of PK time but I see them keeping Graves and Makar together. Worked well last year and has worked well again this year since they've been playing together again. I could easily be wrong but I wouldn't break up that pairing again this year unless injury forced me to.
