I’d much prefer to see Latendresse with another year of development in juniors or the AHL if the Q won’t give him the development he needs. Why put him into the lineup right now on the third or fourth line? With the new CBA giving players a shot at free agency after 7(?) years in the NHL, why waste one of those years playing him on the third or fourth line? When he makes the big team, it needs to be on one of the top two lines where he’ll get some real ice time.

OKAY PEOPLE ENOUGH! STOP PUTTING KOIVU ON THE SECOND LINE! He’s an essential asset to our team. he needs to be given the center of the first line, If anything out of respect alone.

Those lines are good.

Change Higgins-Ribeiro-Ryder to Higgins-Kostitsyn-Ryder and trade ribeiro and abeischer for defense.

Also, Kostitsyn could sum for somebody else later on this season or replace an injured forward and prove himself then.

Kostitsyn-Samsanov-Kovalev would be crazy too.

You put Johnson as a defensemen and a forward. Secondly you put koivu on the second line and even if your lines aren't specifically ordered, why would latendresse a rookie with nothing proven yet get a spot on one of the top two lines especially one being Koivu/Ryder.

Secondly, the lines cud b way better then the garbage u put.

Koivu-Ryder-Johnson

Higgins-Kovalev-Samsanov

Ribiero-Plekanec-Latendresse

Bonk-Begin-Downey (Dandenault)

At the very least though higgins/kovalev/samsanov

Keep ribeiro cuz no1 will want him. Get him to rack up some points cuz its better he puck hogs on Plekanec and Latendresse then kovalev and samsanov.

When ribeiro hogs all plek and latendreses points at the beginning of the season, trade him when his numbers look good along with Abeischer to a team looking for a goalie and get a solid defensemen or something.

Streit has shown much improvement since last year. At this very point he is one of (if not the most) improved player since the off season. He was the best player on the ice against TO in the second game.

I agree, I’d rather put Higgins in the 3rd line instead of Ryder even though that is unlikely to happen.

ryder on the 3rd line? what team in their right mind would put a potential 50 goal scorer on the third line? and why would latendresses be on the 2nd line? just because hes french canadian he should be put ahead of a proven sniper. no way man thats not happening anytime soon unless ryder just bombs all year and they have no choice but i dont see that happening anytime soon
