The Oilers tried that with McDavid and it didn't work either. We have two glaring holes in our top 6. We aren't going to do anything with Dube on the top line & Lucic on the 2nd.
Looks like Lucic is back on the 4th now we need to figure out the top line.

I think getting Huby back with Lindholm should be explored, but I don't think it'll work to have Toffoli on the line. For it to be effective, it'll need some speed on the right hand side. This is asking a lot for a rookie that has only played three games so far, but perhaps Pelts should be the 3rd player on the line?
This team has no reliable scoring line right now. The secondary scoring isn't terrible statistically this season (despite the awful shooting percentage), but but he lack of top end production 5 v 5 and on the PP is killing this team. They got to find a combination that can at least score a goal or two night in, night out.
