Line Combos: Carter to the Wing

Watch Richards, it's usually one dump and change.

He does that and what I am wishing for and Frank J. Selke Trophy is between him and Pavel for next 8-10 years.

Of course takeaways is on Datsyuks side right now, Carter is not even close. Incredible how good Pavel is in that area.

I'm alright with this as a temporary move while Lupul is out. Otherwise I see no reason to break up a great line once he's healthy

You don't move someone who is having a season like this. Put Briere on the wing if you want to stick Richards, Carter, and him on 2 lines.

thanks for clearing that up. i could have sworn i remembered him playing wing for a bit. i'm way too young for alzheimers

but yeah, considering that richards's line is cold right now, breaking up our best scoring line is probably a bad idea.
