TAMPA, Fla. — When Jon Cooper gave the forward line of Ross Colton, Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh the off-the-cuff nickname of “the kid line,” it stuck.
But they aren’t really kids. Colton is 25; Katchouk and Raddysh are both 23. They weren’t fast tracked. Instead, they all dutifully served their time in the AHL, developing tight friendships with each other along the way before earning promotions to the Lightning.
“I can’t take credit for this line,” Cooper said, “but I heard on the bench from (Brayden Point), he said, ‘The oldest kid line in the league.’”
