Curious what happens when Dube comes back.
As much as we all would like to see it, I don't think Lucic sits. I'm also not sure that Nordstrom is enough of a net positive impact with his PK skills to make up for his abysmal 5 on 5 play. I've also liked Simon better than Leivo on the Monahan line.
I say Nordstrom sits. Simon continues with Monahan and Leivo plays with Ryan and Lucic on the 4th line.
Aside from the odd expected brain fart, the top 9 forwards I think have been excellent.
I also think this is the best I have seen Tkachuk start a season as well. Off the shutdown line and with a center that compliments his style.
This is the most legit group of forwards this team has had in quite some time. Which is weird because aside from Simon and Leivo is pretty much the same. Committing to Lindholm at centre is the best thing they could have done.
