Get Greer out of that top nine.

Literally no one else is available. None of Nosek, Frederic, Foligno, Wagner can do that so rather give a chance to someone who hasn't had it yet.

Frederic and nosek are NHL players. Greer is not.

Literally is not the word you should have gone with.

Frederic has been a fringe NHLer the past two years. Didn't do anything to keep his spot on the team during preseason but he's handed it for some reason. Doesn't have any offense in his game and can barely keep the puck on his stick for more than three seconds or can't even be physical. Doubt he could even be a point per game player in the AHL like Greer was last year.

I'm fine with Nosek as 4th liner or 13th F but he is really limited offensively and didn't have a good camp either.

There is no good option on the LW if both of Marchand and Hall are out but Nosek/Frederic/Foligno have had the opportunity to play on the 3rd line and weren't good enough so I prefer trying another player even if it has a small chance to work out.
