Who will score more points this year- Carter or Richards? I thought Carter for sure but Richards had a great pre season while Carter's wasnr so great.
I still think Jeff, he's certainly the better goal scorer and he's in the better situation to succeed right now. What a lot of people don't know is that Jeff suffured from Mono late in the summer and lost between 15 and 20 pounds. Once he gets over that completely and puts some weight back on, he'll be just fine. The thing with Richards though is that he's a very good playmaker and I wouldn't be surprised to see him reach 35-40 assists.trahans99 said:Who will score more points this year- Carter or Richards?

Actually, right now Handzus is slated as the 4th line center and Richards the 2nd line, but lines 2-4 are very balanced. Also, Hitch is contemplating trying Handzus on the wing, maybe on a line with Richards and Knuble if Sim fails to keep up his stellar play from pre-season.19bruins19 said:Carter, he'll be playing on Forsberg's wing while Richards will be a fourth line center.

Liquidrage said:People put way too much into line combos. Line combos are very fluid usually. They change a lot. Often within a single game, and over the course of several games. People get hot and cold and it effects all the lines, a single injury can have a ripple effect covering several lines, etc...
Hitch has already had chatter about playing other wingers on that line besides Carter.
I'd say the general concensus is right now Richards looks better. Richards looks like one of the top rookies overall. I've always felt he was underrated compared to some other prospects. Though, that can always change and a nice preseason doesn't mean a lot, just like one without production doesn't mean a prospect is doomed.
I'm just not going to put too much into a pre-pre-season line combo. As of now Carter's never played a game with Forsberg. He could look great playing with him, or could look out of place. Don't know.
I'll take Richards just because right now I believe he's playing better. That could change really quickly though.
