Rut ro Shaggy. I reserve the right to change it to a Gordie Howe hat trick.

The top 6 just kicked ass on the road trip and this is just game 1. There is going to be a ton of line shuffling down the stretch.

Guentzel-Crosby-Rodrigues
Heinen-Malkin-Rust
Rakell-Carter-Kapanen
Boyle-Blueger-Zohorna

Dumoulin-Letang
Matheson-Marino
Pettersson-Ruhwedel

What in the actual (frank)?

Maybe the rationale is if he can produce with Kap on the line he deserves to be in the top six?

Brian Burke said on the Jeff Marek show that they see Rakell as a Swiss Army knife for the bottom six. I... really hope that he does not end up stuck there instead of playing with Malkin

Sigh

Haha I know. Maybe just easing him Into the lineup since it’s a new team and he missed a few games. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edit: Nm.. I saw

I think it has more to do with him not playing a game in the last 10 days and flew cross country today to be here. Hasn't practiced with the team yet either. Let's wait a few games to see how things go before we break out the torches and pitchforks

I wish I could take solace in that, but see Burke's quote above.

Burke doesn't decide the line up. If Rakell is showing the speed and jump he will get pushed up.

So our big need was a winger for Malkin, we acquire one and he plays bottom six?

What a first shift.

Agreed... And it could end up being HBKish for all we fn know at this point... Or he gets pushed up... Or down... Hahah

Their zone entries are trash. No one on that top power play wants to carry the puck in.
