Point/Counterpoint: In which Andrei Svechnikov needs a home

Breaking news: the Carolina Hurricanes need goals. Specifically, they need them from one of the players they were counting on as a linchpin of their offense.

Andrei Svechnikov has gone eight games without a goal. He’s languishing on the third line with Lucas Wallmark and Jordan Martinook, and it’s the opinion of many fans - along with a good portion of the CC writing staff - that a shakeup is necessary to get Svechnikov going.

But where? Brett and Brian offer some possibilities on where in the lineup to place the talented rookie, both to get him going and to jump-start a Hurricanes offense that’s stuck in neutral.
