What should the Flyers starting lineup be on opening night? Charlie and I discuss how do we handle the Risto injury?

How do we handle Forster? Does Luchenko make this team? Who else could possibly be a surprise? Find out on the shootout.

Let's look at your top line to start. Sure. So my ideal game one top line is I want to see if the line that they closed the year out with,

the Travis Kinecti, Sean Gerturi and Maffa Mishkov line, I want to see if that can carry over

what it showed at the end of the year. They probably didn't use it enough last year.

I, too, want to see Maffa Mishkoff and Trevor Zegroos together at some point.

And I'm sure they will.

They change lines all the time.

But I'm expecting them to get enough time together on the power play because I can't

imagine a world where they're not both on power play one.

And I just want to see what this trio can do given, you know, a month, a month and a half to start the year because Mishkov was scoring a ton. Kateri was scoring a lot. And Ketni, well, Ketkne was going through his like end of year slump, but he was producing too. You have right now the two best wingers on the team in Travis Kenecki and Maffa Mishkov. And in Gatorre, you have the most established center.

Now, hopefully, Trevor Zekers will prove to be better than Sean Guterre is because that

would mean that the Trevor Zekers trade worked out.

But right now, Sean Gatorre is your most established, most accomplished center on your

roster who finished out last season quite

strong, both from a scoring at a play-driving standpoint. I want to see what that trio can do

together to start the year. Yeah, I very much understand that. And listen, if that's the top

line, I am all for it because they were good last year. They got away from it. And that's kind of,

I think, when Mishkov went through his little slump. And lo and behold, they reunite at the end of

the season. And they're very good together again. My thing is, I don't see Sean Kattourier as the

long-term center for Matt Vei Mishkov.

It's time to try him out with someone with similar skill.
