Exactly. I’d prefer if we had someone better than Rooney and Lewis to play there, as I think Rooney looked good with them but just didn’t have the skill to bury the puck. However, the opportunities were there and that’s better than what we saw in a full season of Lewis. I know that line isn’t going to be expected to score, but with Backlund and Coleman you can expect good defensive play and a goal every 2 games.
Ideally Lucic-Rooney-Lewis is your 4th line and either you acquire a new forward for that line or a new forward for the top 6 and slide Dube into the 3rd line, but with what we have Rooney is the better option.
On the plus side, at least it’s not Ritchie lol
