Brett Hull was just on BaD Radio and let the world in on who Richards was playing with in practice. Brad Richards is surrounded by Finns. Nik Hagman and Antti Miettinen are flanking him. This means that at least for tonight Tippett is keeping the top line and Modano's checking line together. Great to hear.

I agree. Though I expected lehtinen to play with richards and barnes to play with mo in lehtinens spot. leaving the 4th line as barch lundqvist and miettinen. Holqvist gets the start tonight. He will probably be amazed that he has a defense that will support him now as opposed to playing in TB where there are only 2 real defensemen (Boyle, ranger)
thats Holmqvist
I don't think they'll dump Miettinen all the way the the 4th. Plus putting Barnes on the 3rd line takes away his biggest asset: faceoffs. I don't think I would touch the 1st or 3rd lines. They're playing too well.
I think eventually the lines will shape into something like this:Morrow-Ribeiro-Miettinen (Hagman)Richards>
