Kotalik On First Line

In another line change, the Rangers have moved Ales Kotalik to the first line. According to Steve Zipay, the move was made because Kotalik can control the puck better than Lisin. I like the move. Kotalik has been the third best offensive player, behind Gaborik and Prospal, and deserves a shot on the first line. These would be my guesses at the rest:

Lisin-Anisimov-Parenteau

Avery-Higgins-Callahan

Brashear-Boyle-Voros

I like the Lisin line. Lots of speed. We’ll see how the Kotalik experiment works. It can’t hurt to try.

    Well, they are paying Kotalik $3 million a year, he better produce like a first liner.

    Well, it will be a hard working line at least.
