As for platooning, I agree. Obviously, a guy like Simon is not going to get the ice-time that Gaudreau and Monahan get. The PP takes care of a big chunk of that. But there is also going down to 3 lines when trailing in the 3rd period. You can put Lindholm back there when you're looking for a boost.
Again, people need to look at these things with flexibility.
