I really liked him with Sheppard and Wingels vs on the 2nd (or first depending on how you view it) line. It's the most I've seen him appear to fit in with a line in a long time.
I agree with you. Havlat seems to fit very well with shep and wingels, and shep really seems to be finding his game, thats very exciting, if he can continue to be a solid third line center so pavs can safely play in the top six thats an overall good thing.
Im actually starting to wonder how they do the lines if hertl comes back, if these lines keep playing well like they are. Nieto seems to work well with cooch/marleau, havlat looks alive for the first time playing with shep/wingels, and pavs looks good with thornton/burns that i just dont know where hertl slots in without maybe messing up a good thing.
Oh well, its a great problem to have.
