I think they would do well in this scenario, and it would be a changeup compared to the rest of our line for opposing defenses. It could cause them a lot of problems. Imagine having to grind it out against those three guys down low in the zone for a while and getting a bit stagnant, then having Gaudreau rammed down your throat next shift.

By the time these guys can skate into the zone their shift will be over.
I don't think the idea of having an extremely slow line used as a change up exists in hockey.
I doubt the opposing team, when they get the puck, will skate slowly to allow this line time to catch up.
