Exactly and the beauty is you could mix up the lines for certain situations. Want even more speed on say the "2nd line" with Bennett/Poirer, throw Johnny or Byron or Jooris up there. Want a bigger line to grind, put Ferland with Mon/Colborne or switch Colborne and Jooris or w/e. Want a super-skillful line. Put Johnny on RW and put him, Sven and Granlund/Bennett together. Want a high-possession line for a bit, put Backs on a wing with Monny and Byron. Its an excited mix of players
