if either bolland or sharp are gone, i will be absolutely shocked. if dowell makes the team it will be as the 4th line center, which wouldn't be bad, he's even cheaper than taffe if that's possible. Sorry if I wasn't clear -- I meant whether or not Sharp is a center or a wing. Meaning, whether Sharp centers the second line with Bolland on the third, or if Bolland is on the second. There's no way that Sharp or Bolland are going anywhere. okay, that makes sense. if the second line went sharp/bolland/hossa, that would be fine with me, 2 kick-ass lines are nice. although i like the idea of having 3 solid lines as well. q will probably micro-manage during the season and find a comfort level, i imagine. just as long as we have room to experiment in the playoffs. the sharks are a team that is top-heavy and has great success in the regular season being that way, but in the playoffs, you have to be able to find the right match-ups and mix it up.
