The Matt Greene Penalty Machine picked up speed when it was paired with the Jack Johnson Roaming Machine.

We all know our fourth line is an abomination...

Brendan Morrison on waivers(4th line Center) for 2.75 (UFA after this season)
Dude was a 20 goal scorer 50 point player in his prime.
Almost no history of injury. 22 points this season.
This guy is sooo ripe for the taking.

33 years old has a good 3 years left on him :check:
Has top line experience and good hands :check:
Responsible in his own end :check:
Veteran :check:
Not due for a pay raise :check:
Huge upgrade from Army :check:
Could possibly re-sign for 3 years for nickels and dimes :check:
Good in the dressing room :check:
PK player :check:
Played with OD :check:
Won a cup :check:
A career +52 :CHECK:

Moller Morrison Harry (for the short term)
Would really make the 4th line feel a lot safer.
Really surprised no one wanted to take this guy. He will get picked up and contribute nicely somewhere.

2.75M is way too much for a 4th line center

I like Armstrong there or we could bring up Boyle or Lewis next season.

He's also coming off of knee surgery this past off-season, which is why he has looked terrible with the Ducks this year. His speed is non-existant and he is a UFA at the end of the year.

Next year, I'm sure he'll regain his form again, but he would be of no help to us this year.

What a ludicrous suggestion.

Armstrong is just fine as a 4th line center.

I really like Lewis for the position for next year, and in a couple years I think he will graduate to become our 3rd line center, replacing Handzus.

My ideal position for Boyle would be on the wing with Handzus and Simmonds. Those 3 would be monsters together, and I could see their offensive production picking up during 5-on-5.

Armstrong early in the year looked horrible. His plus/minus was awful, and he was not playing nearly as aggressive then as he is now. Since his latest stint on IR though, he has played excellent and I see no reason to change him as 4th line center for the rest of this year.
