Likely Sharks Lines

As an addendum to news about the Dany Heatley for Milan Michalek/Jonathan Cheechoo trade, here are the lines that Todd McLellan was originally using as Sharks training camp was opening:
Michalek/Thornton/Cheechoo
Marleau/Pavelski/Clowe
Setoguchi/Mitchell (sitting out because of tendonitis)/McGinn
With Heatley in the mix, I’m guessing that McLellan will still want Marleau to stabilize/push Pavelski and Clowe into consistency while the top line becomes Heatley/Thornton/Setoguchi. The power play will likely be Heatley/Thornton/Marleau, with the option of throwing Marleau on the point (he’s done that from time to time) and Setoguchi up front.
I’m personally not a fan of what Heatley pulled this summer or his contract, but he had chemistry with Thornton in previous international stints.

Am I the only one that remembers Mike’s post about Heatley that was, uh, removed? Even hearing that story, I’m glad for the trade.

If I was a sharks fan (which I’m definitely not) I think I’d be pretty elated about this trade. Wings games at the tank just got harder to watch.

I agree, Mike. Everybody seems to have Marleau on the top line, but I think he adds more to the 2nd line and Joe will have a sniper on either side for some serious scoring potential.
