Pacs and Cole are capable of putting up 30 goals without DD, i am not so sure DD is capable of 50 points without them. I thing he gets a little more room out there because of their size. He might get 50 points without them on a line with two more big wingers, who is to say he cant? I dont think it is all Cole and Pacs, as Desharnais has made his own chemistry with them, otherwise they would be Pleks wingers instead.

so what you are is saying is "No, yes...well, maybe."

If we win the Lotery, doesn't that give Plecks someone to play with?

Odds are Yakupov is going to Columbus, what's left after that will most likely not be ready to jump right away on the 2nd line and produce. Grigorenko is a center...

I think people are underestimating DD's contribution to that line.

I think Nokelinein could score 50 points on that line

Yes, and I don't know why? The little bugger works his tail off. If you asked Pacs and Cole, I would bet they wouldn't want any other centre, even Doan.

Desharnais is very short yes.

No, he could not

Yep. I'm sold.

I'm not sure Cole would agree with this.
- pete26

Cole doesn't score because of fancy passing plays.

He drives the net.

Pac needs DD more than Cole does.

Me too, otherwise they both would be Pleks wingers.

No, he could not

ok so i exagerated a bit, i blame the french blood

He would look kinda foolish doing it whitout the puck, given to him by his center.

He usually takes the puck at the blue line, chips it on the boards past the dman and uses his speed to go to the net.

and DD is the only center that gives his wingers the puck

Eric Engels: Habs Must Change as Expected

change may create some buzz and a little diversion but there will be no quick fixes for this team.

sorry...I disagree.

- Oilhab

Seems like it, from what I'm reading.

Plekanec can do it. Eller can't.

I like DD

Yes, and I don't know why? The little bugger works his tail off. If you asked Pacs and Cole, I would bet they wouldn't want any other centre, even Doan.

This is my favorite part.

This is Cole's 2nd 30 goal season of his career, I think playing with the two most consistent players had something to do with it.

- DrRecchi

Yes, he can beat entire teams all by himself, that's why he was so good in Edmonton.

And for the first month on the year where he had 2 points

Plekanec can do it. Eller can't.
- Fredobface

Im not so sure they cant, it just that they dont, or havent yet. Desharnais has chemistry with Pacs and Cole, and that really matters.
