Connolly looks like a great fit on the 2nd line. The first line has produced quite well with Bozak. And even the 3rd line looks good with Colborne and Crabb.
I'd be inclined to pencil him in between Lupul and Kessel, but that leaves Bozak on the 3rd line with him or Colborne going on the wing. And while I like the idea of Colborne playing the season with the Marlies, if he's producing (as well as his line) it's hard to send him down.
I don't think you mess with the success that Bozak is having with Kessel and Lupul right now. What I'd be inclined to is move Frattin onto Connolly's wing with MacArthur and put Grabovski between Kulemin and Crabb. And, as well as Colborne has played, with the team's top 3 centres healthy, I send him down to get big minutes with the Marlies. I don't want him up on the big team just to get 4th line minutes, or to play a position he hasn't played professionally. I might be inclined to call up Kadri or Mueller and put them on Grabovski's wing instead of Crabb, though.

Maybe, but, I feel like he's doing enough on he's at least having an influence on the success that line is having. At least, to the point where I wouldn't be in a hurry to break it up.

Maybe not, but, A) if it ain't broke, why fix it? And, B) Connolly and MacArthur have a good thing going - I'd keep them together and take advantage of having depth.
Floyd said:Fair enough... Now, what of Grabo?

Spider said:I think what he does is put pair up players that work good together:
Lupul - Kessel (add Bozak)
McArthur - Connolly (add Frattin)
Grabovski - Kulemin (add Dupuis)
Colborne - Crabb (add Rosehill)
for now until Armstrong and Steckel are back, then you shift Frattin back with Grabovski and Kulemin and Steckel with Colborne and Crabb.
Then there's Brown and Lombardi (oh my!). What a good problem to have, when you have this kink of depth.
