The fact you're referencing last season draws a parallel to it. Saying KK beat out his competition last season to earn a #3C spot is a comparison, without mentioning the context, ie not having any competition for it in the first place.
See, there you go again bringing up last season as if it means something. Ya Julien said that, he also noticed how horrible his center line was and his option for 3C was what...McCarron?
It was much easier to make the team last season so whatever Julien said last pre-season means nothing. Nobody is arguing it's impossible for these guys to make the team.
I was saying, they're not going to outplay any of the 3 centers we have.
The lines worked. We missed the POs for various reasons but all in all, those three lines worked as translated in plenty of career highs from most of those guys.
Byron-Armia are going nowhere. They're KK's linemates, I'll be very surprised if that changes, maybe a swap between Lehk and Byron, that's about it. There is only one spot available next to Domi-Drouin. That's it. One of Suz-Poe will start in Laval, the other might have an opportunity if they outplay Lehk, but that means we actually would have to see them in that role, which they currently do not have.
