I mean I get we are losing the game by 2 goals, but moving players around and expecting them to produce and magically find a way to start playing better doesn't make sense to me. Like you had all of pre-season to figure this out and you kept the same lines rolling through pre-season.
Just another reason why I'm not sold on Gulutzan and the coaching staff.

They didn't have 'all of preseason to figure this out'. They didn't have a top line for all of training camp. The RW they slotted on the top line has played 1 practice with the team.
I will say that I didn't like seeing Brouwer move lines, but GG was trying to get Johnny and Monny going. They were both pretty bad last night, but with all things considered it's not a big surprise.
I get that they want to change up from last season. But it's dumb to change something just for the sake of changing it when there's no logic to the decision.
