As recently as a year ago the logjam in the Habs' system was on D, but now it's arguably in middle six forwards. The list in the poll is pretty big !
Notes:
- This poll deliberately excludes Anderson, Gallagher, Dvorak, and future draftees.
- This poll assumes that Suzuki, Caulfield, Slafkovsky, Dach, Laine, Demidov are the future top six.
- This poll assumes that Xhekaj, Tuch, Davidson, etc are really in competition for the 4th line.
If you reject one of these assumptions, please explain it.
I picked Beck, Hage, and Heinemen. I think ideally a third liner needs to be able to play on the second line in case of injury. Hage and Beck are showing a lot this year and have great IQ. Heinemen is showing size and intensity this year.
