It'd be a funny WWII reference too if that does happen - and considering Draisaitl's issues with consistency and footspeed (which hopefully Hartley straightens out in a hurry) it's not out of the question they might run into some trouble.
Even so, assuming that Backs-Monahan-Stajan are the three centermen on the NHL club next year, the Blitzkrieg line might actually be a very good 4th line for next year. 4th line minutes to ease the two NHL newbies in - and McGrattan's line has shown they can handle regular shifts when given some confidence.
Marcel Goc
-Defensive two-way centerman with slight offensive upside
-Excellent in the dot
-Hard worker(Yay!)
-Very versatile
-Excellent mentor for Draisaitl, can probably contain Wolf's raging cheapshots
Leon Draisaitl
-Smart with the puck and reads play well
-Big with good puck protection
-Plays a power game
-Hard working but consistency issues
-Good balance between Wolf's rage and Goc's steadiness
David Wolf
-Big enforcing agitator (6'3 220)
-Scoring touch (untested in NHL)
-Orcish temper
-Will stick up for young Leon and old man Goc at the drop of a dime
