Spot on! I think these two points are underrated. A couple of years ago (I was trying to dig this up) one of our CP posters did an analysis showing that the first line was whichever line was out there with Brodie and Giordano. I suspect giving the offensive strength in our top 4 this continues to be the case. Shelter a young 4th line and a 3rd pairing of Kulak and stone and dump the rest. Roll three lines and 2 defensive pairings and throw out the Hathaways of the world whenever you need energy.
