I see your point. 12-15 goals is about the best that I think that I can expect from most 3rd lienrs. THe chances of a 3rd line scoring 45 goals is low, however. But when it scores 12 as an entire line, yes, that is worrisome. Still, what this does show you are the woes of beign unable to develops a legit top-line player in the last how many years? Callahan is a second liner. We hope Dubinsky is. Hagellin is a 2nd/3rdl line tweener. Stepan is a solid second liner and can play the top line when with a superstar. At least the way that I see him now. Make your own judgement about Anisimov. The last legit top line forward to come through was Amonte. Sure hopign that Krieder is more like him than the others.
