Is he though?
When I look at ice time it looks pretty clear he's not rolling four lines at all.
Tkachuk and Lindholm have averaged 13+
Five other players (Gaudreau, Backlund, Monahan, Mangiapane and Leivo) have been around 12.
Dube and Bennett are around 11
Lucic at 9
Ryan and Nordstrom at 7
That's not rolling lines and it's pretty close every NHL team's deployment.
