Line Combos: - Poll 1 - HF Hawks Decides : Who Centers Kane?

I tried doing this two years ago and the whole thing went to shit with both Toews and Dach being out for the season after I started it. This will be the first of a series of polls to see what the majority comes up with for line combinations on opening night. If I leave someone out in the polls...

Wow, really start realizing how terrible this team is going to be, looking at these options.

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Reichel would have to have gained a lot of confidence before I'd want him with Toews/Kane.

Domi.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Reichel please

 

[Muffinalt]

I guess Domi?

Stylistically I'm not sure it will work that well, but who knows.

Maximizing his value though, should be priority.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I picked Athanasiou. Would love Kane feeding him stretch passes.

I already have Domi-Reichel-Raddysh as the 2nd line.

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Not sure why Lafferty isn't an option

Athanasiou is an awful fit for a guy like Kane. Reichel I guess.

Lots of guys with lots of meh. Who is better than the guy with tons of meh+speed?

 

[clydesdale line]

Athanasiou would be like putting Stalberg on a line with Kane. Not that I want him on his line (cause I don't) but Kane can make anybody work on his line, even guys with meh hockey sense but speed for days.

I like Kane more with a guy who can either snipe and/or is a body that can bang and can get in on the forecheck and give him room to operate on the ice. From this list, maybe Raddysh or Domi.

Katchouk to me is a serious wild card. Guy was stapled to the bottom 6 with crap on his line last season. I would like to see him play with actual talent to really see what he's about.

 

[Bubba88]

guess it will be Domi. Could be everybody...

Athanasiou is best with the puck on his stick off the rush. He pushes the puck with pace.

Kane is the opposite of that. Kurashev is somebody I'd like to see get an extended look with Kane if not Reichel.

Kurashev was my other choice. I'm still a fan. I think he needs to play top 6.

The issue is that if you put Kurashev with Toews and Kane, then you lose room for AA in the top 6.

 

[wladyslaw]

I would like to see Riechel and Athanasiou- get some time together-- I think Reichel has the Eyes/ vision/ skills to anticipate AA flying- and Give AA alot of break-away/oddman rushes

 

[EddieTheEagle]

I'm all about asset maximization. Get Domi some points while Kane is still here, flip that sum'bitch for two 2nd rounders at the TDL. Hopefully more, but I won't hold my breath.
