Did McDavid score 50 yet?

Looking forward to seeing this kid play a lot of games over the next several years!!

No, he said to read into the lines. A very good chance that trio sticks. I don't like Purcell, he's very soft, but he is a veteran and has experience playing with talent.

I wouldn't mind giving Drai a few games with ebs and nuge, while giving yak a couple games with hall and Mcdavid.

It's training camp so it wouldn't be bad to see maybe two games with that combination. Now is probably the chance to try these things out

McLellan has said on multiple occasions that he is more of a believer in pairs as opposed to trios. Wouldn't be surprising to see those types of lines throughout training camp and the season.

Interesting comment yesterday by Petry talking about how close the Players are on the Habs, not like other teams he's been on with their different cliques, an obvious reference to the Oilers. That will be part of the challenge for the coaches to bring these guys together.

He's been telegraphing the pairings of Hall- McDavid and Leon- Lander. I think it's safe to assume another pair would be Nuge- Eberle which leaves Purcell, Pouliot, Yakupov, and Korpikoski to fill in the blanks. Curious to see which one falls out of the top-9.

I'm just happy to see Lander being mentioned so early by the new coaching staff!

If you're bored I hear they're looking for freedom fighters to conquer Isis. You fly to a neighboring country and the will smuggle you into the front lines.

Top nine

Pouliot / RNH / Eberle
Hall / McDavid / Purcell
Lander / Draisaitl / Yak

Interesting line combos, maybe Draisaitl can be Yak's setup man.

From reports in camp it sounds like Yak buried sweet feeds from BOTH Lander and Dr Drai.

I was reading that McLellan has been busting Yak over his positioning and he's actually responding.

I only saw the one tweet about positioning along the wall, but I think it's going to do wonders for Yak to have a coach who knows what's going on in the offensive zone. McLellan will do everything and more that Roy was trying to do with him, I think. The guy's ability is so obvious, he just needs to put it together.

That's going to be an interesting top nine, I assume that would leave us with a 4th line of

Hendricks / Letestu / Korpikoski or Klink
