Seriously, you guys obsess about the lines more than can be healthy. If that energy went into more important things we’d have global warming, disease and income disparity licked.

This would be a likely lineup if Gulutzan were still the head coach.
I'm hoping that Simon and Gawdin get into the lineup. There's no way they can be worse than Lucic and Nordstrom in terms of production.
The games are extremely close. So many of them are going to overtime. The Flames lack superstars and need to roll 4 lines. Therefore, the 4th line needs players that can actually produce. This will be the difference in many games.
And if one player has no offensive abilities whatsoever, it can actually suck the production out of the entire line. If you cause productivity to stagnate, it doesn't matter how physical or defensively sound you are. You're going to be a liability.
