Matt Karash: Canes Preseason Game #3: Move forward and notch a W

Gotta admit, I'm very pleased with the play of Sekera and Rask so far. If they can carry this into actual games, the Canes are going to be a hell of a lot more dangerous than they were last season.

Also the Canes should make an offer for Cody Eakin.

Where do you think Lindholm will play this year? I would like to see him with Eric and Skinner but what do you think?

Skinner-Rask-Lindholm
Gerbe-Nash-Boychuk
Malone-McClement-Dwyer

Thanks Bingo, I just love this Lindholm kid, the way he closed out last season showed he could be a star one day. I was concerned about him getting hurt too early in his career but he came on strong at the end last year. Hopefully Khudobin plays at the same level he did last season, see know reason why he will not be the number one guy.

Yeah, big fan of Lindholm as well. He's not quite the goal scorer I thought he'd be. But he's a heck of a playmaker. Plus, he works incredibly well with Jeff Skinner. Finding #58 a linemate he gels with has been tricky.

I think Lindholm will score lots of goals in the next few years as he is so young with so much room to grow. Remember when the Penquins traded a young Markus Naslund who was not a big scorer at Lindholm's age and the rest is history. I project him on the wing this year as he has to improve on his faceoffs first.
Skinner with Lindholm is two thirds of a promising line.
