Switch Higgins and Latendresse and you have a good lineup.
I would do that too.
Lang and Latendresse on the same line together would be a ''who is slower contest''.
And to answer Ole Bure's question...Pleks should post similar numbers to last year for sure. If he doesn't reach the 60 point plateau it would be a big disappointment.

Well, you know what, those lines look great and I didn't really think about the other defenders focusing on one clear line, you have an excellent point there. I still would like to see some tanguay sundin kovalev at 5 on 5.
Edit: I'd really like to see Tanguay Sundin Latendresse also

a kovy-pleks line or a Sundin-tanguay line.... would really excel against the #3-4 pairing on most teams...
and then the Higgins - Koivu - Skost is a third line.... thats just ridiculous... that was 2/3 of our first line two years ago (with Skost > Ryder)
80 points for Plekanec this year barring injury. I am expecting him to be a point per game player and become a premier two way center for the next couple of years.
I see Plekanec as a 70-75pts player, playing a great two-way game. His vision on the ice is underated, he's probably the most clever player on the ice with Tanguay on this team. When is the last time Plekanec created a turnover or made a big, fat mistake? I can't even recall...
i liked the kost-plek-kovy line but i would really like to see what andrei could do from the right side...i really think he can do the most optimal damage from there. therefore i wouldn't mind breaking up the line
HOw do you guys see him this year? can he repeat last years numbers? what effect if Sundin signs? what about Lang if he comes? is he a lock at 1c?
I think Plekanec proved in the last 2 seasons that he is a good hockey player.....so I don't see him being much different from last season. Whether Sundin signs or not, Plekanec should still play with Kovalev....they have good chemistry on the ice....but its hard to say, maybe Sundin and Kovalev would have even more chemistry.
The thing is, Sundin is more than likely NOT going to sign in Montreal....so we shouldn't even be worrying about him. He will go back and play another year in Toronto and then retire a Leaf.
