I'm in agreement with these lines, although, i'd switch up RNH and Holloway. RNH and 97 seem to have chemistry.
More comments/thoughts:
- I think Brown will bounce back. ACL injuries take time. Though, I don't think he's going to be as good of a top 6 player as he was sought out to be. He will still be an upgrade over Yamo and Jesse.
- I'm worried about Kane. Last year, injuries was defs an excuse. But he looks like he almost lost a step maybe, which isn't surprising because he's 32. What's more concerning is his lack of finish. He was never someone who had a great shot, but he's not doing what he did when he first started with us (ie getting into the right position for a goal/shot) and keepings whiffing on shots.
- Kane on the third line is not much of a demotion imo, but the third line has no finishers, so he could complement them well.
- We basically have no fourth line. Its just Janmark. Ryan should be a 13th forward, Erne should of never been signed, a new center should have been acquired and Lavoie should be with the team.
- Defensively, i think part of the issue is adjustment to a new system. They will come back around, but hopefully it will happen ASAP.
- Broberg looks good as he's ever looked. Which is really promising if we move him up to a top 4 role.
As Hyman said, no one would bat an eye if we lost 2 games in a row in the middle of the season, so why panic now. Hopefully its onwards and upwards from here!!!!
