Written Option 1:
At present, Matviy Cajabi's linemates consist of Benjamin Surkhi-Ze'ev and Jerry Moonshine. It is a line that was recently thrown together after the surprise trade of 1/3 of what was to be the rock solid "Mat³" line. That trade saw the Blizzard trade away Cajabi's friend and former linemate, MattyJ, so instantly there was a drop in chemistry for that line. While Surkhi-Ze'ev and Cajabi have played most of this season on the same line together, chemistry wouldn't be the first word that comes to mind when describing their cohesion on the ice. Adding Moonshine into the mix so late into the year didn't help things, but like the professionals they are, they played out the string and made the most out of the situation. If anything, it was a chance for Cajabi to lean on the veteran presence of Surkhi-Ze'ev who is back for his second tour of duty with Edmonton after a short three season stint in The Big Easy. As for what next season will bring is anyone's guess. With the first line set in stone and Cajabi's place on the second line seemingly secure, it's not clear whether he'll start next season with either of his current linemates. The "plan" initially was for Cajabi and MattyJ to be flanked by Italian sensation Cristoforo Roccamontepiano, but you know what they say about best laid plans. We'll have to wait and see what the evil geniuses in Edmonton's management and coaching staff cook up in the laboratory when it comes to Cajabi's chemistry in S80 or whether he'll even be part of the chemical equation at all. ![]() |
