I think for everyone worried about Sprong being on the 4th line (me included), its important to remember Eakins runs 4 lines. Although shore to me is a more 2 way guy, that line can still produce. We dont have an elite first line and I dont expect it to be played as such. Getz tends to have high TOI from being on the PP, but aside from that I think we are looking at 16:00-18:00 TOI a night for top line. Second line probably matching that 16:00. So in reality, Sprong could still get 10:00-12:00 a night if it works out. I also see him getting a crack at PP and PK time.
Aside from that, Hakanpaa's preseason debut was pretty disappointing. I'm hoping its just the transition to North American ice. But if its not, he's like SD bound. I like Guhle and Fowler. Mahura would be better with Del Zotto or Holzer to start the season just for stability.
