Just because it's written first does not mean it is the top-line. Which ever line is playing best during the game is the top line. When you have a team built like the Flames are you are looking for the best 4 combinations, not "1st Line", "Secondary offense line", "Defensive Shutdown Line", "Grinder Line". These types of team structures are outdated IMO.

I would bet Hudler - Backlund - Cammalleri ends up with the most forward ice today.
