There are few things that Habs fans wrote about on Twitter more often last season than who should play on which line and how often they should play. It makes sense, then, that we take a preliminary (pre-pre-season) look at what this season’s line combinations may look like. Here’s our first kick at it, with the caveat that assumptions have been made and will be explained.
First off, the not-so-obvious line, the Top Line.
MAX PACIORETTY – TOMAS PLEKANEC – ALEXANDER SEMIN
I realize that many people feel that Brendan Gallagher will return to the first line but I disagree.
