2 LW when mikkos back, if the donskoi and kadri chemistry keep up

As a Caps fan I'm telling you if you put him in top 6 with PP time he'll get you 50 points

I can't imagine they'd keep the Jost - Kadri - Donskoi line practicing together if they don't intend to keep them together, but we shall see. I think Jost needs a shot at a top-6 role.

They gave him a shot last year at 2C... they have nichushkin practicing with compher but I doubt he makes the team

Problem is they have to many guys that they want to see in the top 6. The top line obviously then kadri, bura, jost, donskoi, nichushkin

Burakovsky and Landeskog speak Swedish as a first language. Most Finnish guys (Rantanen, Donskoi) speak Swedish as a 2nd language, but Finnish as a 1st. Landeskog was above average on faceoffs last year, taking almost 700 of them. This team could keep Landeskog at center, build lines around common languages, and have really good offensive depth.

Donskoi, MacKinnon, Rantanen -- two Fins can teach MacKinnon a few words and build up some set plays.
Burakovsky Landeskog someone -- two Swedes " Someone "
Kamenev Kadri Nikushkin --two Russians " Kadri "

Don't know who's left but I think there are still, like, four more top-nine forwards, and if the above lines work, you can trade a couple for a 1B goalie and a defenseman. Maybe to Carolina?

I wonder if they go:

Landy Mack Bura
Jost Kadri Rants
Kamanev Compher Donskoi

I really think Jost will float b/w the 2nd and 3rd lines depending on Compher at C and how he is doing. Bednar seems to like having 2 guys who can take faceoffs...Landy/Mack Jost/Kadri,..Kam/Compher
based on early camp reactions, I wonder if nichushkin is already on the outs looking in, hasnt had an impressive days like Kam/Compher have already. While that training camp line of Jost Kadri Donskoi is just clicking
