Yeah, but once everything settles down, it's going to be Orpik/Martin with the toughest matchup. Martin can probably play 25 minutes a night, no way Orpik can do that anymore with regularity.
That's the risk you take with young guys, rather they gamble with them, though, the old guys haven't exactly proved themselves the past few playoff runs.
Seriously would rather risk playing the young guys and call up Domoulin, Harrington and Samuelsson again.
This team has enough talent to make the playoffs in the weak east let the young d play more minutes and use Orpik/Scuderi sparingly so maybe they will have enough gas come the playoffs. Also with those three up it will give Maatta and Despres a chance for a break.
I am not including Engelland in this he should only be a 4th line wing going forward. As for Bortuzzo he should play every game as the 6th.
