Just saying that if you want a pure shutdown line then Frolik is likely a better fit on that line. Then the fourth line can have some easier offensive zone match ups.

I have no idea why any team in the NHL in 2018 would want a pure shutdown line. If you don't have superstars like Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, McDavid (ick) you need to roll four lines that present a real offensive threat to be a serious contenders. Not saying you need 4 pure offensive lines, but there has to be scoring up and down the lineup.
