I think the lesson here is that in the current NHL, depth charts are far from static, and that players will tend to play all over the lineup. In the event that Iginla is traded to an offensively deep team, it is probable to expect a more even distribution of minutes within the top-nine forwards, as opposed to the "classic" top/bottom-six breakdown. |
Just check LeftWingLock.com. It'll tell you what line combos have actually been playing together. For the most part, it's been the following for LA...
Brown - Kopitar - Williams
Penner - Richards - Carter
King - Lewis - Stoll
Clifford - Fraser - Nolan

Iggy's an upgrade on Williams on the top line for sure.
