Line Combos: What to expect from ZAR next season?

[Tom Hanks]

Let me tell you the story of James Neal ...

He was an established player though joining Kennedy, Dupuis and Adams on the RW.

A bit different to a fringe player playing a new position that already has Kessel, Hornqvist, Rust and Sprong at RW (even Simon has been effective there too).

The Pens had terrible depth on RW back then. Completely different now.

i mean, if it worked, would be a pretty good reason

I mean, you could say that about anything.

Also Neal's a guy who clearly benefits from cutting into towards the net to shoot and ZAR isn't.

Quite. Lets rephrase the question.

"Why do people think it would work?"

Here's a better question - why bother given the depth they already have at RW?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I just hope he learns how to clear the puck at the blueline. He was the worst offender in the playoffs.

I think he’s a NHL quality player right now, but not on this team barring injury. Who knows, maybe Cullen will look like **** and retire, suddenly ZAR becomes locked in at LW4.
