I wanted to explore how the Hurricanes forward lines might be transformed from the start of the 2010-2011 season through the 2011-2012 season. I used Power Power to format the changes; but I can't link graphics files except through a URL.  Here are the lines I project.  Also,  it is inconceivable that under the Maurice/Francis/Rowe system any set of lines would remain intact over more than a few games; so the lines will always be in flux.  I have projected LaRose and Kostopoulos being traded at the 2010-2011 trade deadline; but if LaRose returns to form,  it is more likely that Dwyer or Samson will be traded.
