A funny thing last season was that for a long time, there was heavy reliance on the top line. It looked unsustainable, and the output post all star break seemed to support that view.
However, post all star break, it was the depth lines that really started churning out our offensive production. That too, appeared unsustainable.
Then we hit that playoffs and got nothing from just about any line combo we put out.
Hopefully we’ll get all the pieces to work more consistently when it counts this season.
But yeah, I think there is enough evidence over a long enough period of time to show that Peters needs to do something about that second line.
I’d move Bennett up there to see if he can continue where he left off from the playoffs because he was the one positive note (goalie aside).
