Don't worry about the line possibilities. All depends on how players play in training camp. Chemistry and skill will both influence Mike Johnston's lineup decisions. I feel that the Top6 wingers are interchangeable within the lines and the 3rd line wingers (Perron, Dupuis) could even find their way into the Top6.
Personnally, I slotted one gritty guy on each of the top two lines (Kunitz, Hornqvist) so that there will be a player actually motivated to dig deep into the corners to fight for the puck then feed it to the skilled (not to say they aren't skilled themselves, but that they are a few notches below the likes of Crosby, Kessel and Malkin) or to stand in front of the net while the other make the plays.
As for Sergei Plotnikov, I don't know very much about him. I lined him up with Geno just because my understanding is he's a skilled and big winger that could compliment Malkin especially since the potential for chemistry between the two Russians is great. Although, in Training Camp, he may not have the sufficient skill to play 2nd line minutes over Perron or Dupuis or even, if he proves himself this year, Bennett.
