Chemistry

Just curious how much impact chemistry between line mates. It seems kind of odd that on my first line the Center and Left Wing are listed as having chemistry with each other and the Right Wing. Meanwhile the RW who is in his 3rd full season on the team only has chemistry with former teammates and nobody on the current team.

Besides everything else, given his line mates have chemistry with him, wouldn't that mean he has chemistry with them and they should be listed?

If he's got solid chemistry with a bunch of players from former teams, it can take a while to build up enough chemistry to bump them, particularly if they're at a high level (there's a limited number of "permanent" chemistry spots, and those are the ones you see displayed.) If he's playing regularly with his current linemates, the linemates are likely sitting at the top of his temporary chemistry list, so as long as you keep him in that spot they'll eventually push past the other guys. He does get the benefit of whatever his current chemistry level with them is, even though it's not shown on his list at the moment.
