If Salo can't go on Tuesday, I think both Alberts and Ballard should draw in and play as the 3rd pairing. Ballard isn't big enough to be physical, but he can pass and skate, leaving Alberts to handle the forwards in the corners and down low.
Rome, while a great guy, can't make a pass to save his life and skates just as slowly as Alberts.
