Jones was on pace for 36 pts last year. A whopping 6 points less than what Frolik had and what Backlund was on pace for. Josh Jooris was also on pace for mid 30s, in his rookie season to boot. There really isn't that much seperation in their offense. And you decided to say "besides Colborne and Bennett", which is redicilous because both have potential to out produce Fro and Backs (FroBack, I like it )
I never said they were going to be 3rd liners all year. I said it's going to be very much like last year, whoevers producing/making things happen will grab the 2nd line duties for the night, and it's ENTIRELY possible considering FroBack will be drawing the heavy lines because of their defensive prowess, leaving the other line semi sheltered and giving them opportunies against weaker lines.
You are getting too carried away with the whole "2nd line" title my friend. If anything, we have two fringe 2nd lines/good 3rds.
I forgot about Jones. I think a Jones - Backlund - Frolik Line would be great actually.
It was a perfect storm last year for a lot of players. Jooris a great player for us and expect him to be a great bottom 6 player. But being on pace for the mid 30's doesn't count for anything. It's what he has now that we work with. He also slowed down at a certain point. Albeit he was injured, he didn't produce the same afterwards. Not that there is any reason he couldn't hit 30 points.
That is exactly why I said "besides Bennett and Colborne". I believe other than those two players are better offensively than Backlund and Frolik. Not sure about this season, but beyond, sure.
I agree with "fringe 2nd line" and "good 3rd line". I don't think we have two "fringe 2nd lines". That might have been what you were getting at.
Actually...I'm not sure if you meant, 2 "2nd lines", 2 "3rd lines" or 1 of each. I agree with the 3rd option.
