Here’s a small excerpt about the Canadiens fantasy preview (there’s more on the Habs) from the ESPN article by Sean Allen. He seems to think Saku Koivu will be playing on the third line this year:
Fantasy outlook:
Les Habitants are rich in fantasy goodness. The greatest value, however, flows from coach Guy Carbonneau’s vicious power-play attack that led the league in effectiveness last season. Many of the catalysts from last season’s unit return with a few more top-six forwards sprinkled in. However the lines get juggled, Alexei Kovalev, Andrei Kostitsyn, Tomas Plekanec, Alex Tanguay, Sergei Kostitsyn and Robert Lang should be owned in all fantasy leagues (probably in that order). Carbonneau will be hard-pressed to break up the trio of Kovalev, Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn considering their dominance down the stretch last season, but he does have the brothers link for the Kostitsyn brothers and the past chemistry between Lang and Kovalev from their days as linemates in Pittsburgh to encourage at least some experimentation.
