Personally I think Merrill would play over Goligoski, and wouldn’t be surprised to see Sundqvist in over Dewar since the Dean/Billy seem pretty enamored with size, especially in the playoffs. Lots of options in the bottom six.

Faber?

Barring any catastrophic collapse I think Gus starts game 1 and I would be very surprised if both goalies didn’t get at least one start in the first round. Reaves on the fourth line with dewar and Duhaime. Sunqvist has the experience of a deep run but unless the series isn’t that physical I don’t see him starting over reaves. Foligno and Nyqvust will be on the 3rd line with Freddy. This is a good problem to have since so many depth guys have been solid.

Top 2 lines are set in stone, but 3 and 4
Sundquist – Freddy – Nyquist
Foligno – Dewar – Reaves
If speed is needed by matchup,
Shaw – Dewar – Duhaime
