Here are my pairs.
Vermette - Umberger: Shown great chemistry in the past, and I have seen some of that again this year. If they can stick together for a longer period of time, I really think they can get going as a pairing.
Brassard - Voracek: The sophomore power pack! If there is one thing I am sure of, it's that both of these guys can handle the best of the NHL, and simply need to develop into those players together. We saw them escalate last year, and I think they can continue their ascension to the top line by playing together.
Torres - Dorsett: Speak what you will of Dorsett's talent, this guy has given me every reason to think he belongs on the third line. He and Torres have to be brutal for each team to play against, and double D has done a great job rising to the occasion.
So consider it..
Top Line: Nash (rotating 1/2 pair)
Second line: Huselius (rotating 1/2 pair)
Third line: Pahlsson (third pairing)
...and then fill in the gaps. Give Huselius the second line minutes (or less) that he currently deserves, and rotate in Filatov and Chimera when necessary. It will force Juice to start working again, and compete for minutes. Then retain the third line unless Pahlsson takes a night off, and scramble the fourth line as necessary.
What do you guys/gals think?
