Speculation: Who is the high quality player on your team who just isn't meshing on any lines?

I’m pushing the definition of high quality here, but IMO Josh Anderson could be a consistent 30 goal scorer if he ever found chemistry with a center. I’m thinking the kind of bump a guy like Al Secord got when he was paired with D Savard.

I'd say when he gets healthy, Evander Kane. If the additions of Skinner/Arvidsson means no top 6 spot I'm not sure how 5.1m fits on the 3rd line.

If Kane can come back healthy, I'd like to see if he could fit back with McDavid. We've tried plenty of Kane with Draisaitl and I just don't think there's a fit there. I like RNH on Draisaitl wing. I guess it comes down to how Skinner looks in the top 6 when Kane is healthy. Cause Skinner is kinda a top 6 or bust.

No one is going to want that shit though.

Dispite having 4 goals and 5 assists in the first 9 games, Timo Meier still can't find a line he fits on.

Since February 1st he has 23 goals and 43 points in 44 games and actually has a higher points per game than Hughes and Bratt. Leads the team in points and +/- to start this year.

The idea that Meier is washed/overrated or doesn’t fit in or was a bad trade and signing for New Jersey is simply an urban legend at this point.

Kevin poopy pants Fiala… boy do the Kings need a young RHD like Faber about now

Matt Duchene was that player for a long time.

Mika Zibanejad.

Bobby Ryan.

I don't think he's washed or overrated in the slightest, he doesn't mesh with Hughes or Bratt. With Hischier and Mercer he's been a lot better, but he still looks out of place.

IMO the fact that he can still put up points while looking out of sync with his linemates speaks to his talent.

Kevin Fiala's hubris is unmatchable. I hate you Rob Blake for all you have done.

I'm not sure, but they might have ask'd Dobson from Isles, wheeh dodged a bullet. Could've been Milbury esque trade.

Buffalo - seems like Dylan Cozens

Mika Zibanejad, i wish he’d request a trade but stuck with him

Got him for an absolute steal of a deal though! He still rather be a DJ than a hockey player I'm guessing? lol

The Fiala trade was amazing compared to PLD, omfg, does Rob Blake not watch hockey at all anymore? You have my sympathy, him and Ronny Franchise are in a "worst GM in the league" comp I think
