Top 6.
Jurco-Hayden/trade-Hossa
Hino-Kruger-Hartman
??? Where we are headed? I doubt Jurco can win a spot, and I'm putting Desjardins odds at 40% to win a playoff spot.
If Q is doubting Hino Bigfoot, Ares, and I are going to have to start stalking Benny's until we can have a little conversation behind the cardboard swedish model on aisle 9 where his favorite Cabernet resides.
My guess is Hartman, or Hino or both will eventually be invading that third line and a checking line will be formed around Kruger properly.
The other issue though, is that it could be Hossa for all we know who is requesting and prefering Kruger as the center he feels best with. Given his own forechecking ability, its certainly a reliable line and I think it could be powerful with either Hino or Hartman or the wildcard here...Jurco.
We'll just have to see...and then see if Hayden signs and how good he is. I still consider Kero very high in the running for 3C or 4C come playoffs.
