Pierre-Cedric Labrie's toughness and Cory Conacher's skill made them pretty easy decisions for Lightning head coach Guy Boucher, he told reporters Thursday when finalizing the season-opening roster.

"He's such a character person and brings unbelievable intangibles. And he's a very good hockey player," Boucher said from Estero Thursday.

Conacher was last year's AHL Rookie of the Year.

Boucher still wasn't ready to name his starting goaltender for Saturday.
