Honestly, why even play the 4th line. Aside from Jagr, everyone else in the top 9 should be able to handle 20 mins of ice time just fine.

If Frolik can play the left side, I'd move Jagr to that line with Backlund. They all have strong possession and play a slower game. Swap Versteeg and Jagr every second shift or Jagr in for offensive zone starts.

I'd put Tkachuk with Bennett and Jankowksi. These players are all supposed to be our future 4-6. Might as well put them together now.

Don't even bother playing Stajan, F. Hamilton, Brouwer, or Lazar. They can draw straws for who dresses to open the bench door and be injury insurance.

Put the D lines in a blender. None of them have been good.
Gio - Hamonic
Kulak - Hamilton
Brodie - Stone

After that, send the whole team and coaches to hockey school.
