you umm... didn't really analyze anything?
Sounds great only you have Straka pegged at 3rd line and that won't happen. Drury and Gomez lines will average each almost 20 minutes a night, you think Renney will keep Straka off those two lines. Won't happen. Plus without Nylander, Jagr wants a familiar face to play with, that's Straka.
i agree no way straka will be in the 3rd line..... it woul dmake an unreal 3rd line but it just wont happen...... straka and prucha will switch spots and then it looks great
hey alex i think you have the right idea about putting the young ones with the veterans to speed up their devellopment but mark my words straka will be jagr for the mostpart
Thanx for the feedback. When i get up to the second amd third lines later in the series, ill switch prucha and straka. If you are interested, check out my profile for the the next few installments of the series in case i dont make the home page. i put the link on the original post. thanx.
