Andrei Loktionov called up — off-day open thread?

What will the lines be?

I’m thinking, maybe:

Gagne Kopitar Williams

Loktionov Richards Brown

Clifford Stoll Richardson

Moreau Fraser Lewis

(Hunter, Westgarth)

(IR: Penner, Parse)

On the other hand, Loktionov has been playing between a big body (Jordan Nolan) on one side and a speedy guy (Brandon Kozun) on the other, so maybe:

Gagne Kopitar Williams

Stoll – Richards Brown

Clifford Loktionov – Richardson

Moreau Fraser Lewis

Or, if Murray wants to admit that the Richards line is the new Handzus line — and therefore needs a LW who can handle the defensive load, what about:

Gagne Kopitar Williams

Stoll – Loktionov – Lewis

Moreau – Richards Brown

Clifford – Fraser Richardson

And, of course, since Anaheim is coming, and Murray is Murray, we’ll probably see Westgarth, so maybe Clifford – Fraser – Westgarth on the fourth line?

Gagne – Loktionov – Williams

Richards – Kopitar – Brown

Clifford – Stoll – Richardson

Moreau – Fraser – Lewis
