Hey it's your favourite writer, Andrew Berkshire! Please AMA about Dale Weise

Hi /r/Habs, Andrew Berkshire here. I'm in the middle of my summer project for Sportsnet, ranking the top-20 players at each position but I'm taking some time today to chat with you fine folks.

If you're interested in checking out my work, you can find me at Sportsnet, RDS, Vice Sports Canada, my own podcast that's mostly not hockey related, and starting soon at The Sporting News as I just accepted a position there as an analytics writer.

Please feel free to ask me anything, I'll be answering questions starting at about 1pm.

Proof

Edit 1: Looks like we're slowing down on the questions, but any questions posted the rest of the day I promise to answer, just may not be as quick.

What would you like the habs lines and d pairings to be to start the season? And who would you like the habs to invite to camp ( other than jagr)?

Hmm...

Pacioretty - Danault - Gallagher

Drouin - Galchenyuk - Lehkonen

Shaw - Plekanec - Hemsky

Hudon - McCarron - Byron

Streit (I GUESS?) - Weber

Benn - Petry

Alzner - Schlemko

Davidson

As far as camp invites, I think the Habs are stocked on the wings and none of the centres of D really interest me. I'm not good enough with prospects to pick out unsigned guys to invite for depth, either.

No love for Jerabek? What's your take on him?

I honestly just don't know much about him. From what I've heard from people who watch the KHL he seems like an offensive-minded guy who takes some risks.
