Sean Avery - Man of Fashion!

I’m sorry, Jerkwad, but no matter how much of an ass you try and make of yourself on the ice, how much you try and ‘agitate’ and make yourself sound tough, I will always picture you looking like this:

Sean Avery, Douchebag

Short Pants FTW

and laugh.  Good job.  Thanks Wyshynski.  And, uh, Mens Vogue I guess for the picture.  Never thought I’d be thanking them in this space.

Lines

Now that things have settled a bit, I thought I’d look at the potential line combinations for this year.  Keep in mind I’m not 100% sure who can be sent to Roches…er…Portland to start the season.  Anyway, what the lines will most likely look like:

Hecht - Connolly - Pominville
Vanek - Roy - Afinogenov
Paille - Gaustad - Stafford
Peters - Mair - Kotalik

Tallinder - Lydman
Spacek - Rivet
Paetsch - Sekera

Miller
Lalime

That 4th line left wing is fluid, but with all the forwards that will still be on the team (barring other deals) I can’t see Kaleta or MacArthur starting the season with the big show.  I’d like MacArthur in that spot, though, with Kaleta as the first injury call-up.  Heck, I’d have Kaleta up and playing just for his agitation and energy though I know not everyone agrees with that.  Any better ideas?
