It's why I've been saying they need another top flight winger so Kane can play with Reinhart on line 2.

They have their top 2 LWers in Kane and Moulson they need to add a RW. Ennis will play the one wing. They need another.

Why wouldn't you put Kane on the top line? That's where he should be. If he's not there, who are you putting there instead?

I think they should try Grigorgenko there. Or maybe Hodgson. If either of them are going to be successful at all, they needs to be in the top 6 somewhere.

There has been some scuttlebutt (i.e. Garth) that it may be problematic putting Kane and Eichel on the same line.

I get what he is saying. Both Eichel and Kane like to carry the puck. Reinhart isn't really the carry the puck guy from what I've seen. But still Eichel and Kane together is scary when you think of the speed those two have.

I'm okay with Girgorenko there. I could see them trying Hodgson but ugh I want him gone, like yesterday.

Both like to carry the puck.

It's something they can figure out with the slightest bit of chemistry.

I see Reinhart as being a guy that's going to feed the guys he's playing with, but I guess I could be wrong. Your centers usually are those guys. The wingers are usually the guys that your centers are feeding. Or at least that's the way I usually see it.

I guess try a few different combinations together in camp and see who works well with each other and who doesn't. But in general, I would think that Kane should absolutely be on the top line.

Hodgson has had 1 bad year and it was under a coach who was in way over his head. I think buying him out would be a knee jerk reaction to that, and based on Murray's comments toward the end of the year about how Nolan wasn't utilizing guys properly, I'm fairly certain a buyout isn't happening for him.

Trade, sure. Because you're getting something in return. But not a buyout.

Yea, Mouslon on Line 1, Kane on Line 2. They need to find someone for Line 1 RW, *cough* Kessel *cough*

Its pretty much what Bylsma said in Eliott Friedmans "30 thoughts" Michael mentioned in his blog. Not only that, but he said something akin to "could you inagine those two charging down the ice together?"
Im sure he'll get them on the same page, its only going to benefit their stat totals, right?

I think reinhart will be more like thornton and eichel will be more like jeff carter

kane when the dust settles should be with reinhart and ennis should be with eichel

IMO
