That also assumes that these lines will 1) actually work. 2) even if they do work they likely won’t gel in 2-3 games 3) Sutter won’t tinker again and not give the players minutes together to grow but instead keep hitting shuffle 4) some defensive injury will happen again and make the cap not as friendly for bringing up a call up. Bring up an actual skilled forward and oush the dregs out.

Sutter kept his lines and pairings together most of last season, literally.
It's not like he doesn't have a history of going with what works. You and he may differ on the timeline for how long he wants to try something, but there's this history dictates he goes with what works when he finds it.
