I'm not going to tell people what to complain about and IMO we are absolutely seeing line and pairing combos that the coaches believe can work. They're not random.
I still think it is weird and shortsighted to complain about coaching decisions in training camp. Every coach does his own thing and has his own plan to get the team ready for the season. It is also hard to read too much into veteran performances, or the performance of new players because they too have their own process for getting up to speed for Game #1. Sutter is one of the longest working, most accomplished coaches in the game today; this makes me think that what he is doing in pre-season Game #7 is more than likely a better approach than what any anonymous fans posting on this site would prefer to see.
