I would love to see that as well but I wonder if it makes more sense to get a look at guys that need to clear waivers first. Might be less pressure for Gaunce and Virtanen later in the season (compared to at the beginning of the season). Would love to see an opening day forward line-up of:

 

Sedin/Sedin/Hansen or Loui

Beartschi/Horvat/Eriksson or Rodin

Burrows/Sutter/Rodin or Hansen

Etem/Granlund/Dorsett

Skille (perfect 13th forward, can play a variety of roles, without sacrificing development time i.e. Gaunce or Virtanen)

By mid-season maybe:

Dank-Hank-Loui
Baertschi-Horvat-Rodin
Gaunce-Sutter-Hansen/Virtanen
Etem-Granlund-Virtanen/Hansen

Younger, quicker line-up for the stretch run

 

Sub Rendulic for Skille (by a hair play wise but much younger) and I'm buying your lineup for forwards.

I agree with respect to skill and age but I don't think Rendulic has to clear waivers...if he going to sit in the press box (i.e. is the 13th forward) probably better he gets reps in the AHL - he has room to improve, Skille is what he is...better Skille sitting in the press box rather than Rendulic
