Very interested to see what the coaching staff does with the offense this spring.  Lots of talent and lots of different ways to pair them. I like the fact that it's been established Scanlan will play attack. Obvioiusly he could always move back but I think it makes sense to have on the field full time, and I don't think he would avoid the long stick even if he played midfield. The more time Scanlan has to process the move the better.

That obviously leaves the third attack spot as the biggest question. I feel like Desko gave Cook so much playing time last year in preparation for him making big contributions in 2020. But Cook gives me a lot of pause after last year. Dordevic and Curry could both move down (my preference would be Dordevic), and you would have an incredibly good starting six. But is converting two midfielders to attack a bridge too far for Desko? Also, being able to keep both Lipka and Buttermore on your second line would bring unmatched depth.

Again, it probably depends a lot on which unit looks better when they return in the fall.  If Desko thinks the Kim twins, or Magnan or another midfielder is ready to play an bigger role, more than say Cook or Berkman or Seebold, he might want to move another middie down.  It will be fascinating to watch play out. I like that the Orange have lots of options, but also think it would be great for them to establish roles as early as possible for chemistry's sake.
