That's a pretty good group. I still have questions about the 1st line, and Sharangovich playing Center, but they look good so far.
Ruzicka hasn't played a game in ARI just yet.
It's probably the best lineup since the 2021-22 playoffs of:
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Dube - Jarnkrok - Toffoli
Lucic - Lewis - Ritchie
Arguably this 4th line is better/faster this year. That said all of Lewis, Lucic, and Ritchie provided positive value that season, especially when Sutter didn't use them against McDavid.
