This got me to thinking - when was the last time we, on paper, have had THIS legitimate of a first line? A legitimate #1 LW, #1C, #1RW in each of their own rights.
Not players miscast in a role that could complement first line players, but 3 top line talents.
Hudler was good, but not in anyone's mind a top line winger that could carry a line on his own. And Monahan and Gaudreau were a bit short on experience to be considered bonafide first liners.
No question marks on the top line now, what a bizarre feeling that will be.
