As I wrote in another thread, everyone gets to wear an 'A' and everyone gets to play center!
Here is an article that Bob's tweet spawned.

What do you guys think about that suggestion? It would be great for Gally but I don't see him be able to handle first line centre matchups.Potential line combos with Galchenyuk at center:
Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Desharnais
Sekac-Plekanec-Parenteau
Bourque-Eller-Gallagher
Prust-Malhotra-Weise
Extras: Moen, Bournival

I read that Dalton Thrower is not at camp. Is this true?
If so is it because of his ankle injury suffered this spring and should we be concernered about it?

I missed parts of the preseason game last night but from what I saw a few players in particular stood out. Most of the vets were kind of going through the paces (and rightfully so with the 700 players injured league-wide over the first few days of camp). So here goes:
Michael McCarron: Very involved physically and looks like he will have something to offer to the Habs one day. He was knocked out of the game but was rock solid for two periods with some solid hits and a couple scoring chances.
Jiri Sekac: The commentators made a good point in mentioning Sekac's experience (including conditioning, etc) in the KHL as being an asset over guys like Andrighetto and other younger prospects.
Drayson Bowman: Looks like he could be a nice fit as a fourth-line energy/PK guy this year or 13th forward. Good energy and showed some of the talent that made him a top prospect once upon a time.
Christian Thomas: Good nose for the net which rewarded him with a goal and a sweet pass to Bowman for the game-winner. Lots of Gallagher in this guy.
Meanwhile Tinordi had a few hits but needs to play better with the puck.
