Makarov is a bit smaller? (I haven't seen him play at all). Buffy's 6-2, 210+ seems to fill the Hawks' need more. But his job certainly isn't guaranteed. Like you guys mentioned. Makarov, Beach, Stalberg and Skille, there's certainly grounds for competition there. As for Bolland I think they're pretty deep at center that they won't shift Sharp to C. Reasoner is more than able to fill the John Madden shoes than Bolland, so they brought him in for that specific reason. I really don't see a sense in them shifting Sharp down to center the 2nd line, and leave a gaping hole on the top line with Kane/Toews and mucking around with Bolland and Reasoner. Just my 2 cents. - Ryan Ma Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:05:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2944-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-one#comment-6920 Nice article, but I think for CHI, the top 5 are set and Brouwer is included. They have two combos of Toews/Kane and Sharp/Hossa. Brouwer bounced between those two lines and I'm pretty certain he'll find a top 6 role for the whole year. I believe Stalberg is the other winger who will find himself in a nice position along one of the deadly combos. A dark horse who could steal his spot (if he has an amazing camp) is Kyle Beach. I think Bolland will center the 3rd line. Good stuff - looking forward to the next one. - Dale Kenzle Tue, 06 Jul 2010 09:04:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2944-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-one#comment-6919 Great stuff! I think you mean "Cavalry", not "Calvary". "Calvary" is a religious term, and doesn't mix well with hockey-talk ;) - KJzz Tue, 06 Jul 2010 09:00:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2944-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-one#comment-6918 Great article as always.
