Blackhawks Line Combos For Upcoming Season: Kane & Toews Reunion?
Coming off a frustrating season as a Blackhawks fan is super tough, but now fans have something to look forward to which is the lengthy rebuild process we will be seeing Kyle Davidson and the Blackhawks go through. We will be able to see fresh new faces in the lineup and the future of the organization right in front of our eyes! NHL insider Frank Servealli takes part in a website by the name of ''daily face-off'' which one of the cool features projects and generates the most accurate lines as possible for various teams around the NHL, let's take a look at the Blackhawks projected lines!
Forwards:
Top line: Philipp Kurashev. Lukas Reichel. Patrick Kane
It seems as if Patrick Kane may be taking two young and hungry to win wingers underneath his wing, Reichel's first season in the NHL may be a crazy one playing with one of the best playmakers (Kane)..
Defense:
Top pairing: Alex Vlasic- Seth Jones
Much like the Blackhawks first line of forwards, Seth Jones will be taking the 6 foot 6 rookie defenseman Vlasic underneath his wing. Jones being 6 foot 4 himself will make for one monster of a defense pairing.
Although i am sure everybody would love a Kane and Toews lineup reunion on the top line, we got it- but on the first line powerplay! The first line unit seems very lethal, Lukas Reichel sliding into Patrick Kane's former slot on right wing leaves Kane to drop back on right defense (high right circle) while having a man advantage.. this is something that may work VERY good..
