They are so deep on defense Hughes has been moved up front to forward on
one of the top 2 lines.

Kelleher is not the traditional standup-type goalie, and next to Clemmensen
you can definitely see the difference in style.  Kelleher flops all over
the place and really relies on reaction.
 
I've always thought Clemmensen was not a very good goaltender, but
benefited from some great defense corps.  The addition of Kelleher makes BC
very dangerous IMHO.
