yave1964 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Jussi Jokinen and Beau Bennett will be playing on a line with Malkin for the immediate future. Both have played solid Hockey, and seem to be perfect fits for the club. Jokinen does a great job with the puck, Malkin is a flat out stud and Bennett will carry the water for the other two. Solid, solid line. So that leaves Kunitz, Dupuis and Neal, with Neal likely the third liner, a 40 goal scorer dropping down to play with Sutter and D'agostini. Wow. It all comes down to if Bennett is as good as advertised and Jokinen stays healthy and continues to build report with Malkin. If this move becomes semi-permanent the Pens will have the best top nine in the game today, bar none hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal will go back to Geno's line when healthy Edited October 9, 2013 by nossagog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 When Neal returns if Jokinen and Bennett are flying high I know Neal is a flat out stud who has developed into a top scorer, but I am high on Bennett and Jokinen to me was a perfect fit for Malkin. Any way you look at it this is a star studded group of forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I agree on Bennet, he'll benefit alot on that line, but I think jokinen will go back to line three when Neal returns. I think Jokinen, Sutter and Kobasew are forming quite the third line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
