I really wanted these original lines to work with the hopes of the Flames being a team that could boast 2 1st lines and 2 1st pairs to combat their lack of franchise talent the Avs and Oilers have.

I don’t mind the team loading up like they did last year and have the two best wingers play with the best center. Kadri had more points in less games than Lindholm last year and is off to a far better start so should be given the top line spot. The Flames need to add a top 6 wing or swap Mangiapane and Toffoli again to balance the lines out a little more but for the short term to get Huberdeau going I really like it.
