I was able to put Miller on IR. From that last, who would you choose to have for the first two weeks?

Gusev and Bjugstad would be my top two choices.
Bjugstad is apparently healthy for the first time in years. He's also playing with Parise and Kaprizov which is the best linemates he's had in a long time. He's also a Minnesota kid who's returned home to try and extend his career. That's a lot of arrows pointing towards the possibility of a good season from him. Minnesota also has the easiest schedule to start the season of all teams in the NHL with 8 straight games against California teams.
Lots of good choices but I would take a chance on Drouin. Montreal looks to have a much stronger team this year. Drouin is on a great line with Suzuki and Anderson as well as the top PP unit.
