All of these things are far too premature.
The first line is likely going to find a rhythm.
The second line is hot to start but will likely balance out.
Kane might not have exploded in the first 3 games but he’ll be fine and make the best of playing with whoever he plays with.
That’s why rentals have some appeal for the Flames this year. We need to see where we’re really at as a team before making any moves and see who is available/who can fill those needs properly. I’m not ready to write of Toffoli or a rental like Kane nor am I ready to declare the Kadri line our de facto 1st line.
