The Stars have always been about core pairings on the forward side of things, with a 3rd guy filling in as needed here and there...since Lehtinen and Modano are no longer a must, I would like to see this Neal/Modano thing played out for a few more games. I'm not sure if Modano took something before the game or what, but the two of them were absolutely feeding of eachothers energy out there tonight. It was a pleasure to watch.
Also, keep Richards and Brunnstrom together for a few more games and see if that is worth pursuing. If Avery doesn't totally F that line over, it may be worth sticking with.
