Kuz is back

[DryKing]

I’m glad they’re finally putting them together at the start & not while trying to come back. The other lines are Moore-Kopi-Kuz, Foegele-Danault-Laf, & Armia-Turcotte-Perry. The Kopi line is the one I’m most curious to see if it works. I’m pretty confident in the other 3.

On the Fiala-Byfield-Kempe line I am curious to see who will step forward to do the dirty work. If someone does, that line could be lethal. I'd personally rather see something like Turcotte-Byfield-Kempe. As VCRW mentioned, Byfield has been weak on faceoffs while Turcotte has been strong, so perhaps Turcotte could step in to handle the faceoffs for that line.

Juice has also become a 50% faceoff guy over the years. QB needs to play a more controlled game and rely on his wingers to score. If Q plays more like a true center and less like a rover, this line should be able to dominate while still creating meaningful chaos in the o-zone.

Phillip Danault is on pace for 0 goals and 16 points this year.

Switch Turcotte with Danault.
