Those lines are interesting. I, too, would have thought that Coleman would be put with Gaudreau and Monahan if they were together as a defensive conscience and also would have thought the established chemistry of Mang with Tkachuk would have been where they started.
I'm relieved to see Lucic with Lewis and Richardson. It makes sense to me to put him on that line and see if Pitlick can mesh with Dube and Backlund as a very fast, hard forechecking line.
As much as people seem unhappy with the top 6, assuming Monahan's health, I am glad there are 6 top six players that can be shuffled around.
