I say give the new guy a vote of confidence and throw him on the first line right off the bat. I'm actually intrigued to see a big body with those two, I feel they would create space and slot chances off the cycle. I just feel Dube will really compliment Hubby plus I'm hopeful this will prevent Kadri from going solo too much, he's no Big Z, lol. No reason to touch the Backlund line and why not try a high tempo, fast kid 4th line, Pelletier is surprisingly good defensively while Ruzicka and Duehr could be magic.
Ritchie - Lindholm - Toffoli
Dube - Kadri - Huberdeau
Mangipane - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Ruzicka - Duehr
Lucic / Lewis (really doubt Sutter would ever do this)
Hanifin Tanev
Weegar Anderson
Zadorov Stecher
Gilbert / Stone
