Eh... my pipe dream of seeing Couture in SJ dies here. Still stoked about Setoguchi though, a couple of my friends went to see the Sharks open practice this past Saturday, and swore on him to be a Shark this year... he looked good against LA

what Line do you think Setoguchi plays on ?
I wouldn't rule out the second line because we need a speedster on the second line with Marleau. Marleau was exellent when he had Milan on his line.
My top 6 lines
Michalek- Thornton- Cheech
Setoguchi- Marleau- Bernier
Pavelski or Clowe could be darkhorses for the second line.

From what I've heard, Clowe will be on the top line amazingly enough.
Its all unconfirmed and speculative, but:
LW - C - RW
Clowe - Thornton - Cheechoo
Michalek - Marleau - Bernier
Pavelski - Goc - Setoguchi
C. Brown - Roenick - Grier
That would leave the following players on the outs, best ones bolded:
Dennis Packard
Patrick Rissmiller
Torey Mitchell
Tomas Pilhal
Riley Armstrong
Craig Valette
Graham Mink
Nate Radums
on the outs as far as LW/C/RW go.
There are some good battles at D and G going on... I really want to see Semenov play lots of minutes for us - he's friggin huge!
Odds are though, that unless Setoguchi is unquestionably ready, Rissmiller starts the year in SJ and Setoguchi doesn't...

Guchi has 3 goals (2 PP) in 4 games now... it will be awful difficult to send him down if he keeps up this pace.
Couture has already racked up 5 pts in 3 games in Ottawa. Just found out recently, before his mononucleosis bout, Couture was in contention to be the #1 selection in this draft.
Also should be noted that Sharks project LW Jamie McGinn has 3 pts (2 G) in those 3 games, and both were assisted by Logan Couture. After seemingly calming down his aggression last year (49 PIM compared to 110+ in 2005), it looks like he's pissed again, getting 18 PIM in the first 3 games.
