I just don’t know if it’s a good idea to try it again and watch 40 games of line switching misery.
4. Last question, for everybody that has envisioned their own lines. Ask yourself is this a good team on paper or a good team on ice? I know everyone loves building new teams on playstation/xbox, but this isn’t a video game. I’m seeing a lot of new names, but a lot of new names means a lot of new risk. Maybe I’m more risk adverse, but I think I prefer the idea of going with a little bit of what we already have and know that works, then to build everything brand new from scratch.

3. Absoutely, yes. I'm sure there are more examples than FLA, but Florida. We need to move out 1-2 key pieces and start with an absolutely blank lineup card with no pre-existing assumptions.
4. There's a very good chance that changes won't work (at least not immediately), but it's almost certain that staying the course won't either.
