I said it before the season, and it still seems to be an issue. Toffoli and Huberdeau together won't work. I do believe that Toffoli would work well on the 2nd line with Kadri and Mangiapane.
I personally loved it the second Sutter put Ruzicka with Backlund and Coleman. Backlund and Coleman are tenacious and create chances. Both are good skaters. Ruzicka brings the skill and size to that line.
Problem, I just don't know if Dube can click with Lindholm and Huberdeau. I wouldn't give Dube away and I think he is too good to be on the 4th line.
If they Flames want to be a threat, they need a higher skilled Dillion Dube. This team needs speed more than anything with better skills than what Dube has.
