Re: Svechnikov safe on top line?
I haven't been keeping up on Canes camp, but it doesn't surprise me that he is practicing on line three. Between Nino, Necas, Svech and Teravainen it seems that Brindamour is comfortable juggling lines. He was on the third line for a period of last year, perhaps because they feel he can drive a line himself. I think he will likely play first line a good chunk of the season but wouldn't be surprised if they juggle things around to try and balance scoring for periods
