I found it interesting to see where Hudler was placed for the initial line-ups. I was wondering if anyone saw this as a sign that he was fighting for the final roster spot, or is it just wishful thinking?  As it stands, I could see all of the other lines playing together on opening night. Heck, I even put these lines together in myself at one point.
