These are the lines I suggest to remove Dagenais from the roster, assuming that Zednik returns vs. TO.
Zednik-Koivu-Kovalev
Perez-Bonk-Ryder
Higgins-Plekanek-Bulis
Sundstrom-Ribeiro-Begin
Actually Ribeiro doesn't play like a 2nd center. He should be considered a PP specialist and play mostly on the 4th line (until he regains his 2003-2004 shape). Begin and Sundstrom also are specialists, but for PK.
Sincerely our fourth line plays more like a third line, they are dynamic and can counter most of opponent's #1/#2 lines.
What is interesting for Julien is the versatility of some players: Higgins, Begin, Plekanek, can all play either center or wing... it allows much more potential combinations...
If you consider who are the best players on the team right now, you don't have a choice than to rearrange completely Habs lines... :hlogo:
