3rd line to start. Some 2nd line duty swapping with Coleman if 2nd line cools off.
Dube LW; centred by Monahan most of the time unless no uptick for those two. Ruzicka could end up centering him before end of season.
PP2 replacing a D man. Want him taking off wing cross ice shots. Doubt they drop Lucic, Backlund or Mang from PP2.
12-15 goals and 20-25 points for rest of season. Ignites 3rd line.
Playoffs: his track record speaks for itself.
