Why does Tampa have Killorn on their 1st line, instead of Palat or Gourde? Because the Stamkos-Kucherov line isn't going to produce significantly more goals if you add Palat or Gourde, but the 2nd and 3rd lines will.

Agree. On almost every team in the NHL right now the top 6 forwards are split into pairs over 3 lines. The issue is we need a top 6 forward to round out a 3rd pairing. Is Ferland a top 6 player? Not on a contending team. Does that mean he shouldn't play on the top line? No.
