If the lineup can be changed to net a better result why wouldn't you do it? The second line as a whole has been the teams worst since being put together, and it consists of arguably our two most important forwards. Again, Sutter can cry to the media about the lack of a big goal from his top players - but when he actively attaches deadweight to them, maybe he should look into the mirror.
Right now I think the coaching staff is seeing him provide something to that line that no one else on the team currently can. Must be something the coach wants and it seems like Kadri and Huberdeau are gaining chemistry. I think it's so easy as fans to see one thing they don't like and get hyper-focused on it (especially with the internet) but a hockey team has a lot of different parts and roles to manage as a coach.
