loll @ Bozak on the third line. People,stop trying to make this your team, its not going to happen. Time to accept it
Personal preference:
Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
vanRiemsdyk - Grabovski - Kulemin
MacArthur - Kadri - Frattin
Komarov - McClemment - McLaren
Orr/Steckel
Phaneuf - Franson
Gardiner - Gunnarsson
Liles - Fraser
Kostka
Reimer
Scrivens
Holzer on the bus to Peoria.
Bozak does nothing on the first line, kadri has the same amount of assists as bozak has total points, and thats on the third line imagine if he played with JVR and Kessel that line would explode ... either trade him or demote him, last 4 years as a first line centre and has done nothing, kadri first season and is all ready impressing and showing his potenial!!!!

you clearly have no concept of sheltered minutes...
We won't make the playoffs if we have Holzer playing 1st pairing minutes. It simply won't happen. Jake Gardiner on his wrong side would be more effective.

Are you saying Bosak would produce more not playing with JVR and Kessel? Maybe Carolina should move Tluski to the third and away from checking lines. His production would ski rocket. People seem to forget when you're on the fist line yes you play against the other teams best checkers. You also play with the most talented players and get the most PP time.

I wasn't going to comment but what the heck. I think what he's saying is Kadri would produce less if anointed as the #1 C right now.
Keeping him on a different line from Kessel gives the team the best chance to win (more threats) and continue to give Kadri a chance to succeed as a ppg player for the remainder of the season like how he's doing now, It's a team effort after all and not individual.
How about we wait until next year and not rush Kadri, please? Would it really kill anyone if we waited? Let him work on his face-offs and other deficiencies and hopefully he can be that missing piece we've been waiting for all these years.

I'm not saying that at all. I think Kadri would even produce more on the 1st line.
Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
JVR - Kadri - MacArthur
Frattin - Grabbo - Kulemin
Komarov - McClemment - McLaren
Dion - Franson
Gardiner - Kostka
Gunnar - Fraser
If it were up to me, I'd shake up the entire line to try something new:
JVR-Kadri-Lupul
Frattin-Grabovski-Kessel
Kulemin-Bozak-MacArthur
Komarov-McClement-Orr
Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Holzer-Kostka
Franson-Fraser
Reimer
Scrivens
Just trying to mix size and skill.
