I agree that Kampf will never be scratched. Babushkin I'd put at 90% to play every game. And Timmins is far off the favorites list anyway.I just can't see him keeping Kampf and Boosh out of the lineup, or keeping Timmins in, which according to net rating kinda crushes us all by itself.
then again, net rating is almost certainly overrating timmins. he's still probably good, though, and it's probably right about kampf and boosh.
But he's shown a willingness to sit Gregor and Reaves for extended stretches, and probably doesn't have enough of a bond yet with Dewar to favor him too much. Meanwhile, Holmberg and Lilly keep making him look stupid, and Robertson has been good enough to not get shunned for too long.
That said, we all know game 1 will see Kampf Gregor Reaves as the 4th line, almost guaranteed. And if we win that game, then of course they'll get the next 2-3 games whether we win or lose, which would see us down 2-1 or 3-1 before Keefe gets desperate and plays the better players to "mix things up".
