But first reaction is that the team is playing the same Sutter style but definitely going to be less reliant on one line to get things done.

I think we will see close to as many wins. Maybe less blowouts. But also more solid play overall. Less likely to crumble.
People commented on the top line needing a carrier. There's no one as adept at stickhandling as Gaudreau there. But Huberdeau and Lindholm can skate with the puck. Toffoli not so much. If Mangiapane switched lines it might work just a little better, and I think Toffoli would do fine on the second line.
