Let's just say it's a hot take.

His proposal:

Gaudreau - Ryan - Bennett
Mangiapane - Backlund - Tkachuk
Rieder - Lindholm - Frolik
Lucic - Monahan - Quine
Weird. Can you give the executive summary? My immediate thought is that guys with good analytics often do so because of the way they are currently deployed. Changing it up too much can be detrimental to everyone.

You could probably do the same exercise without minutes limitations and just put Ryan on for 60 minutes on lines with all the other forwards and have great combinations.
