No use making another thread on this....though this is more like a thought instead of an idea...
Anyways, with this Ribs/Kovalev tandem working so well, I gotta wonder what's gonna happen with the first line. It's become worse than past first lines.
Higgins - Koivu - Ryder?? Maybe Zednik instead of Higgins? blah!
We need a top line left winger, and I would part with a promising rookie if it meant getting him.
That is, of course, if Ribs isn't going to be traded as soon as Gainey gets the offer he wants. In that case, Kovalev goes right back up to the top line.
