These are the best balanced lines in years imo. Really excited to watch them tonight. Basically if everybody plays to their highest potential you'd have two 1st lines and two 3rd lines. Obviously that will only occasionally happen but I still think the depth looks quite solid.
Already in Ward's short time as coach I've seen a lot of interesting lineup construction and things tried that needed to be tried. I wonder if Ward is accepting more input from players, coaches and management about lineup construction than previous coaches or if it's mostly him driving the thinking.
