I think it would be tough to build a cup winning team with a career high 17 goal scorer on the top line and a career high 10 goal scorer on your second line, not even taking into account that injuries happen.
I guess it's ok if we plan on missing the playoffs again in 2022.

Because most teams don’t put their top three forwards on the same line. A more common approach is two top forwards and a utility player.
