great blog as usual, Hugo! 👍
I wasn’t so sure about the idea of basically having three third lines out there, which is a direct result of not having a bona fide 2nd line centre to round out the top six, and after watching that game… I’m still not entirely convinced.
while I don’t necessarily disagree with you, what different approach would you have? I guess they’ll manage to figure out which guys have the best potential chemistry playing with Demidov as the season goes, and that line will de facto become the official 2nd line…
