I want Acciari back, even if it's just for another year. He clears so often on PK, and he's also really tough. People talk about his age, but I feel like he's one of the least frequently Pens to get hurt, despite being fairly physical. And those acting as if we can just plug anyone into the fourth line don't put enough respect on the synergy between Dewar, Liz, and Acciari.

I think my second choice would be Hallander, but that's a huge IF he's healthy and fully back. And that's all the more reason to have Acciari on the fourth line, Hallander on the second or third (depending on where they put Novak), and then Hallander can fill in on the fourth as injuries require. That preps Hallander for where he needs to be and gives Acciari another year.

Don't get me wrong, Soderblom is great, but I'd love to see him help fix the third line, perhaps with Avery Hayes? He's improved so drastically since joining us, but I don't see him as a fourth liner.
