I think the reason for this is the uncertainty of the RW that will play with Huberdeau and Lindholm. Right now, assuming Mangiapane does not play on the first line and Backlund and Coleman stay togther the most likely players to play in the role are.
Dube, Toffoli and Pelletier. I think Toffoli will be much better this year but also like him on a line with Mangiapane and Kadri. If Sutter went with this line then that leaves Dube as the likely candidate. I doubt Pelletier gets first line minutes to start the season.
I see a big swing in this team getting better if we got a much better option to fill the slot. I personally think Hanifin is at his peak and Weegar is better. We could role 3 very very good lines with a good RW and still throw out a better and deeper defense than last year as I personally think Weegar is that much better than Hanifin. IMO he's better on the PP, 5 on 5 and on the PK.
