The journalist assigned to cover the Montreal Canadiens for The Athletic, Arpon Basu, answered to a question regarding the possible line combinations for the upcoming season by Martin St-Louis.
He revealed something very interesting by placing an unexpected player to join the inseparable duo of Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
Basu put Kent Hughes' new summer acquisition, Alex Newhook, to play on the team's first line.
Here are the attacking units he came up with:
Caufield - Suzuki - Newhook
Slafkovsky - Dach - Anderson
Armia - Monahan - Gallagher
Ylonen - Evans - Harvey-Pinard
Basu believes that the organization will give Newhook the best possible chance to prove himself with his new team.
