No Kidding
Despite being largely dismissed over the Summer months, it appears that Gerard Gallant could indeed give the Kid Line a bit more time together to start Training Camp. While far from an endorsement for what things might look like to start the year – anyone remember trying Tony DeAngelo on the left side a couple of seasons ago – it’s an interesting move considering how they performed as a unit in the playoffs last year.
Most pundits – myself included – expected Alexis Lafreniere to end up on the top line, Kaapo Kakko to unite with Artemi Panarin and offseason acquisition Vincent Trocheck, leaving Filip Chytil to center a third line of Vitali Kravtsov and Sammy Blais.
