I feel 100% better now with our top six, and I love the fact that we get a scoring, physical, power forward in Landeskog, makes that line much more dynamic. Boyce, who is very young still gets to move to wing from center, thus allowing him to focus more on scoring than the defensive side of things given the fact that he is a true sniper. Ritchie, who has had a great start to the season (9 G in 18 games) will move down to the third line and play center. He is tremendously gifted when it comes to the defensive side of the game and he should excel in that role as the shut down line against other teams top units. Depending on how this year goes, these recent deals might just be a precursor to something bigger involving Kane. I expect to keep him, but the thought of having Landeskog playing the 1st line and Ritchie playing the second line makes much more sense to me, than to have Kane at $11MM per year on the top line. Depending on what are needs are he might be moved, but nothing is set in stone, but as you have seen no one is safe from being moved. Thanks for following.
