Robitaille was an amazing player, stuck in a time of superstars (eer... supertstars and shitty defensemen).<BR/><BR/>I'd probably play my fourth line against an opponent's second line, my third against their first, so I'd need speed and toughness. While Kharlamov has speed and scoring skill - he's severely lacking in rock'em sock'em qualities. If he's not on a scoring line for me, he's a healthy scratch.<BR/><BR/>My fourth lines have scoring touch, with Espo and Cashman. Also, Ferguson has the ability to set up amazing goals (as he showed playing with Beliveau). My third line could absolutely set up and score goals too, so bringing Robitaille and Kharlamov down to provide scoring is unneccesary.Amrit Ahluwaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852930186481517099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359736000090658232.post-24698608756591033232008-08-07T23:55:00.000-04:002008-08-07T23:55:00.000-04:00I like the inclusion of Neely on the third line: h...I like the inclusion of Neely on the third line: he'd be great there. I think Robitaille on the second line may be a bit of a reach: he was very good, but not in the calibre of Lemieux and Richard. If you're determined to keep people at their original positions, I'd put Ted Lindsay on the second line at LW, bump Robitalle to the fourth line, and replace LeClair with Mahovlich. Otherwise, I'd bring in a few more right wingers and shift them over. I liked the inclusion of Kharlamov on the first list: I'd rather have him and Robitalle play fourth line with Espo instead of Cashman and Ferguson.Andrew Bucholtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156615450275929751noreply@blogger.com
