    I count 10 defensemen for next season now if Spicer is still coming. Doesn't that seem like a lot of D-men?

    Maybe Hayes goes back to F? (9)........and/or Hutton doesn't return? (8)..........and/or Spicer is no longer coming? (7)

      So is Musil injured or just a healthy scratch?

        Good question. Unless the player speaks up, fans never know. Gendron releases nothing.

          I think the players are under a gag order , so don't expect any information via that route.

            I haven't seen or heard anything but it wouldn't surprise me if he was a healthy scratch

              I'd like to see lines of

              Leen Shore Swavely
              Vesey Brown Pecararo
              Morgan Higgins Byron

              And I don't know about a fourth line. I like what I've seen of Hayes as a winger, and the team badly needs his size and grit. Is Lecroix the only center who can play there, or is there someone else? Maybe a line of Merchant, Campbell and Hayes, or maybe work Tegeler in there? Have a big, bumping fourth line like Walsh used to play, with guys like Tepper, Lacouture, Widmeyer. Or maybe put Lecroix on the third between Morgan and Byron and drop Higgins to the fourth?

              No true second and third lines anyway, the Brown line could be third, while Morgan and Byron and whoever's centering be the second. Not a whole lot of difference.

              Not having seen the games in person, I'm not as down on the defense as some are. I thought they played pretty well the first game against BU, a game I was able to see. Maybe pair Hamilton with Hutton, and Riley with Rutt? Love the Schuhamer-Renouf pair.

              Romeo seems like he's played pretty well, well enough to earn the starting job. Work Morris and Nugnes in when you can against lesser opponents Don't overwork him like Ouellette was last year.
              This might work. Didn't Brown play between Morgan and Byron last year with some success?

                So is Maine carrying 10 defensemen next season?

                  Hayes has been turned into a forward. Maybe they're looking to convert some more.

                    I'd like to see a Hamilton and Hutton pairing.

                    FWIW, Rutt and RIley played together last year.

                      Well that sucks. He's the only reason I'd tune into a Maine game (British hockey fan) but it's a total guessing game whether or not he'll dress.

                        Yes they were together for a good part of last year...and they did have a good line...won't hurt to put that group back together for at least the UVM series.

                          The roster is released before game time, so you have a chance to make the decision before paying your money.

                            Not sure he is quick enough to play. Might take a year to get used to the speed.

                              if its a home game one the WMEB radio guys usually posts the roster on the facebook page

                                With that being said, we've brought in guys who looked a lot worse. It was strange to see Norman play ahead of him against BU.
