The Media Machine is in full swing and the jury's out on Nail Yakupov. He's the worst in plus minus, they'll say. He thinks he's entitled to his ice time, they'll say.

The knives have been in the same room since the draft.

Oh, and Shawn Horcoff comes back home to the team who dealt him for a seventh round pick and Philip Larsen.

Here are tonight's projected lines for tonight's game against Dallas.

Taylor Hall - Sam Gagner - Ales Hemsky

David Perron - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Jordan Eberle

Jesse Joensuu - Boyd Gordon - Ryan Jones
