QuestionS - If the Flames pick up an elite RW (Panarin, Kovolchuk) does Peters automatically play him on the top line? Does he replace Lindholm?

I don't think Peters breaks up that line for anything. We may think "Hey he'll score a ton with Johnny Hockey." But I think they will get as much an opportunity to do that as Neal has had - very limited at best. I'm sure Neal would be doing great if he played on the top line with #13 & #23 every shift.

Also, do either of these guys replace Tkchuck on PP1? Or does Linholm come off PP1?

If the answer is NO to all of the above, then you have traded for a guy who will likely be unhappy, under productive, and gone.
