Since you asked...
Art Ross wants AGGRESSIVE players (he not only chose the Boston franchise's nickname Bruins - cuz that brown bear is aggressive - but he openly headhunted refs and paid a dman who cheapshotted a ref after he requested it, resulting in that player's lifetime ban for the flagrant shot, but Ross paid the dman, and teammates howled against the lifetime ban, but pre-TV era it took a few years for the league to respond and overturn the lifelong ban of the player given the coach's direction, but by then the nhl player was pushing 40 and said gtfoh, or thereabouts, and dissed the low-paying nhl gig for his day job (life pre-WWII).
So,...
No way on this green earth would Ross put Spezza on the 1st line. And little "The Eel" on the 2nd? No way Jose.
Mike Richards was a talented a-hole. He was hated. But he was also talented and an NHL captain. Ross would put Richards gladly on the top line, relectantly admit Spezza is a talented scoring line pivot (grumble, grumble). Troy Murray would be heralded and Henry's slippery nonphysical *** would be put on 8-minute 4th line sheltered even strength, 1st pp line duty.
Thus,... in conclusion... either adjust your centers or replace your coach!
Aside: Liut vs. Kipper... isn't that a goalie competition for starter job?
