Hansen? I think he plays well with the twins. They need someone to help them get in on the forecheck, Hansen forechecks as well as anyone we have imo. He should play there part time at least.
Higgins is the only player I've seen Kesler have real chemistry with. They play a similar game but Higgins is happy to have Kesler with the puck on his stick. They should play together.
Sedin/Sedin/Hansen
Higgins/Kesler/Burrows
Booth/Schroeder/Kassian
Richardson/Santorelli/Weise
Santorelli makes the team as the 12th forward with the group we have right now. We need someone that can win some face-offs.
That would be disappointing. Hopefully it's less Roxy and more Rocky this offseason.
I like Hansen playing with Burrows and Kesler way too much, though-- Hansen with the twins works really well as a stop-gap solution, but that's a really low-ceiling line with the Sedins, IMO.
I like Higgins with Kesler and Kesler with Burrows, but for some reason, I don't like Higgins - Kesler - Burrows
I honestly would rather to see
Sedin - Sedin - Higgins
Burrows - Kesler - Hansen
although that's not ideal either. Higgins plays a board-game that should mesh perfectly with the twins, IMO. He can do the dirty work that Burrows did for them, and he has better puck skill/offensive instincts/finish than Hansen, IMO.
But again, I think I would ideally want to go with
Sedin - Sedin - Kassian/Someone else/Offensive Prospect
Burrows - Kesler - Hansen
Higgins? or Booth - XX - Kassian
XX - Richardson - Weise
