Interesting shake up. Unfortunately, it really illustrates that they are one forward short.
I'm fine with the Lucic promotion as he's been carrying the puck and passing really well this season so far. Hopefully he can go on another production run like he did early in the season last year and buy some time to accumulate cap space.
The Dube-Backlund-Coleman line is going to be really good, I think. So much speed and competitiveness, along with more talent than they had with Lewis there.
Finally, Huberdeau with Kadri and Mangiapane is an awesome line. Mang should be scoring more and unfortunately Huberdeau and Toffoli/Lindholm just didn't click.
