I'd rather see Latendresse-Ribeiro-Ryder. It's more likely anyway.

No chance. We don't have a consistent finisher on our first line. Ryder takes care of that on the second. I guarantee you that Guillaume will play on the first line (unless he stops caring about hockey).

It seems to me that Kovalev and Zednik are pretty decent finishers. Also, I'm as happy as anybody to see Latendresse doing well, but I don't think there are any guarantees when it comes to rookies (or in this case, someone who hasn't played a real NHL game yet!). I would expect Julien would start him on the 3rd/4th lines. He can be a first line guy, but he'll have to learn the system and earn that chance.

I don't think Zednik is a good finisher at all. If he finished even 30% of the golden chances he gets, he's be a perennial 40 goal scorer. He's adequate for now on the 1st line but if a big time talent comes along who has good chemistry with Koivu, Zed is getting a demotion. Simple as that. He might still lose his spot to Perez this year or next.

Thats is not only a valid point... Its something I would expect.

Given Zhogs already high level of play I cant help but feel that with more conditioning..better confidence and better chemistry with the team he is going to be a very very scary sophomore.

Latendresse should be a great rookie to watch.. but I would expect higgins to a have a great second year on the second line and latendresse would be better utilized adding some much needed scoring punch to our third/checking line.
