Another interesting one to watch is Chicago over the next few years. Right now they have Mikita at center with Bobby Hull and Floyd Smith on the wings as the top line. With veteran Bronco Horvath along with Forbes Kennedy as other centers behind Mikita that leaves a still very young Phil Esposito on the fourth line.
Does Esposito move to the second line eventually or perhaps even replace Mikita on the top line with Hull. With Fred Stanfield also as a center maybe Espo moves to the wing with Mikita and Hull on the top line?
Chicago still has a lot of talent up front as we also have Ken Hodge, Vic Hadfield, Dennis Hull, Chico Maki, Floyd Smith and Eddie Shack on their depth chart.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Esposito's numbers and also how will the absence of the big offensive stars affect Bobby Orr's stats when he gets to Boston.
