While Sprong's place in the lineup hasn't been confirmed, there is a strong chance he'll be given an opportunity to play with Elias Pettersson and Jake Debrusk. Not only did Sprong speak regarding the two players, but he also revealed that the trio had already been acquainted and perhaps already building chemistry.
One this is certain, with the Canucks' latest additions, Tocchet will have plenty of different trios with his offensive group. This new Canucks forward core counts nothing less then 9 players who score 15 or more goals last year, offense shouldn't be a problem for them.
