Devils defense pairings

Previously I wrote about the Devils forwards lines so this one will be about the defense pairings with a brief explanation. As I said before these are my opinions and you are free to disagree.
Greene-Severson
This has arguably been the best pair we have and should be together for some time. Greene is a solid 2 way defenseman a veteran and team leader. Severson for a rookie is phenomenal and will only get better, together they have been a solid pair with no real weaknesses.
Merrill-Zidlicky
Zidlicky is a very gifted offensive defenseman and yes he has his defensive setbacks but that’s where Merrill comes in. He is a solid 2 way defenseman with loads of potential who is very responsible and can cover Zidlicky in the event of a turnover. Also playing with a veteran is something I think Merrill needs at this point
Gelinas-Larsson
Last year these two played together for a while before Larsson was injured and we saw probably the best hockey Larsson has played to date. I think both players bring out the best in each other, both have loads of potential offensively and defensively. These two should grow as a pair into the pair all of us hope they can become.

Salvador
This guy doesn’t deserve to be on the ice let alone have the C on his jersey but he isn’t going to be traded. This guy continually gets burned, takes dumb penalties, and is on the ice for most goals scored against. I’m not in the locker room so I wont say if he is a good presence or not but he doesn’t help on the ice and there for should not be on it unless an injury happens in which case I would still prefer Peter Harrold.

Devils lines

I’m going to lay out what I think the Devils lines should be and a brief explanation. Remember these are my opinions and you are free to disagree.
1st
Elias- Henrique- Cammalleri
I believe this should be the first line as it is a very offensive line that could produce off the rush as well as keeping play in the O-zone. Henrique should be with better players as clowe is really slowing him down
2nd
Havlat-zajac-jagr
I think this would work well because you have Zajac and jagr who are very good at cycling the puck down low and add in havlat who can finish some of the chances created and I think you have potent 2nd line.
3rd
brunner-josefson-ryder
This one is a bit tricky as there a few candidates for this spot. This line would face lesser competition and has the real potential to put up good numbers. With the offensive abilities of Brunner and Ryder and the defensive responsibility of josefson this line could be very productive. I rele think this could work well and should be given and chance.

4th
Clowe-zubrus-ruuttu
This is a 4th line in my eyes. They are big, heavy, and would make almost all teams worry about when they are on the ice. Clowe and ruutu can hit everything that moves and zubrus has good puck possesion. Not to mention they have a bit offense they can bring to the table as well.

NJ Devils need a new coach.
