Are we trading Krebs then? Please don't tell me Krebs is going to be the 3C.

He’s the 3C right now

Well, we all wanted, and expected, a major renovation in the bottom 6.  No surprise so far.

75% of that expected reno is the 3C tho so we’ll see

So they saw Washington sneak in and went after the only line on the Caps that was actually good at their role?

It was Dowd I thought they were after and he”s the only one they didn’t get.

His numbers don’t really show it, but I remember him as an annoying *****.

Another VERY fast guy. With the exception of Zucker (who isn't fast, at least not anymore), Kubel, Lafferty, Malenstyn, all have or are bordering on elite speed.  Sure, they don't have the offensive ability to go with it, but they are all very fast skaters.

You want to develop a 3rd or 4th line with a great forcheck, I guess this is how they are doing it.

It appears that the 4th line got re-made, for sure.

(It actually appears that we may have 1.5+ 4th lines?)

Lafferty is not a great answer as 4C in my view.  Better as a 4th line winger who can play C if needed (ie: a tougher/grittier Girgs).  Unless Malenstyn is the C?  I still think we are a C short.
