drop Neil for Stempniak or Bernier?

[leafnation]

Other than Phaneuf I probably have little in the way of PIM\'s. I\'m wondering if either of these guys has enough upside to dump Neil and his near 200 PIM\'s. I know both have looked good in pre season and are playing on top lines for now?

I might try Bernier for Matt Carle.

I think Bernier compliments the twins better than either Carter or Pyatt did...

I also think that Bernier is also way more talented than Carter and Pyatt.

If Carter can get 55 points playing with the twins, I think at the very least Bernier can match that...I tend to believe he will get more.

Just my 2 cents...

I agree with Brian on this one. Bernier will defiantly get around 60-70 pts if he stays with the twins for the whole season. The only downside is if he gets taken off their lne you\'ll see a big dip in his production. IMO i think he\'ll stay there for most of the season thou, fits perfectly with the two of them.

i find that Phaneuf gets enough PIMs to go a long way to helping a team win a matchup from week to week. i\'d take the chance by dropping Neil for Bernier, get the extra offense and he\'ll throw in some PIMs too.

Yeah, Bernier will definitely throw down some PIMS. Apparently he clicked REAL well with the Sedins, and Raymond is clicking with Demitra on the 2nd line. So I\'d say he sticks up there most of the season if not all of it, no problems on both lines as of yet.
