It might not look great but Sutter also dominated the 2012 playoffs with guys like Lewis and King in his top 9 and Nolan, Richardson, and Fraser on his 4th line so who knows. Just work hard, kill penalties, be defensively responsible and hope for the best I guess.

That was 10 years ago, scoring is up, the type of players playing on those bottom lines are different now as well. They need to score goals to be effective, 6-8 goals playing 3rd line minutes isn't going to cut it.
