Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Dube - Backlund - Coleman
Mangiapane - Jarnkrok - Toffoli
That’s how I hope we see the top 9 next game. I do appreciate the tinkering though, as Sutter likely needs to find at least one additional way to deploy his forwards in a playoff series if things start going sideways.
The pain of having to sort out what to do with Lucic-Monahan-Lewis is certainly going to be a task. Ruzicka should displace one of them, and I know it’s unlikely we’d see it this year but I have a hard time believing an all-kids line of Pelletier-Ruzicka-Phillips would struggle the same way Lucic-Monahan-Lewis does. Would Pelletier - Monahan - Ruzicka improve things?
