Yeah, while it'd be great if either Pribyl or Chiasson surprised and one of them could find a permanent home on the top line the odds are against them considering one guy hasn't played in the NHL before and another guy's history shows a short 10 game run of producing with a more significant run of not being able to produce.
Hoping for either of them to pan out in the top 6 is only going to turn the same people off against them when they don't produce.
