Gomez, Scott

Drury will center Jaromir Jagr and Martin Straka on the team's first line to begin the season, reports the New York Post. This comes as a mild surprise as many observers figured it would be ex-Devil and crafty playmaker Scott Gomez who would get the nod as Jagr's center. Gomez, meanwhile, will center Brendan Shanahan and Sean Avery which isn't a bad situation by any means as a Gomez and Shanahan would serve as nice complements to one another. As far as fantasy values are concerned, bump up Drury on your lists as this arrangement should see him in the 80 point range with Gomez rated slightly higher in our books.
