Ahl probably...
Or, more likely, they roll with 3 scoring lines... Killorn and kucherov and Droiun make 3 more in the top 9... Who am I forgetting....
Do you think Kucherov makes the top 6 in Tampa?
Stamkos, Palat, Johnson, Filpulla, Callahan account for 5 of 6 spots.
I don't think Drouin gets in there yet. Killorn and Panik might be more suited to bottom 6 roles. I don't think I'm forgetting anyone...

Not THAT hairy, honest!
Connolly ! will have a real shot to play on the first 2 line before Kucherov in my mind. But we will see it in the middle of the season who win this battle !

What a good time to be a TB fan...
Unless he blows them away right out of the gate I would think he'll start off with the same 10-12 mins of ice time as last season.
I see Kucherov on the 3rd line again just like last year, there's just no room for him in the top 6.
Good players make room for themselves on the top lines. It may look jammed right now but I like Kucherov's chances on ending up on one of the top two lines this season.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

Regardless of who starts the year in the Top Six, I think Drouin is a lock for a spot on at least the second line by year's end. I'd be shocked if his rookie season wasn't similar to MacKinnon's - they may try to bring him along slowly, but I think his talent will get him that spot ahead of Kucherov pretty handily.
For Kucherov to get a spot in the top six, he'll have to bump Johnson or Palat - Drouin will be cemented there by the end of this year.

Kucherov is solid but he has only 52 games of experience... only 18 pts has a rookie season downst garanty you play on top 2 lines...
He's going to/should be a solid NHL player but it will be more in 15-16 or 16-17 than 14-15.
For this season I dont think there is room for him on 1 two lines has they will put their high draft pick Drouin on 2nd line....
Maybe Drouin do not get the 2nd line spot but I'll be very surprise if its Kucherov..pretty sure it will be a more experience guy..
Of course nobody knows yet but pretty sure Kucherov will not be on top 2 lines for Tampa next season
