It's irrelevant what Coyle has done in the past because he was playing in a different situation. I can tell you he won't be getting 56 points if he plays on the third line all year.
I think it does actually look pretty ugly after Tkachuk based on how Frolik has looked to start the year, how underwhelming Janko is and what Lucic looks to be so far.

Ryan is the only one in that group that looks like his is position is solidified. Other than him though, I get what the other poster is saying about a dog's breakfast, it just sort of looks there and in any number of different combinations it mostly just looks the same.
