Get those points now.

Over the stretch where the Kadri line was hot, Kadri and Huberdeau each had like 12 points in 10 games, and Pospisil, playing with them, had 2. The energy is great, but he can't contribute offensively. And it's the Flames' top offensive line. He is a waste of that space.
Pelletier was great, because he provided energy and went to the net, and actually got some puck luck while he was on the line.
Farabee is more suited to that line than wither Pospisil or Pelletier. He is fast (like Pelts), plays with an edge (like Posps), but actually has hands and some offensive ability. And he goes to the net, which is the most important thing for that line (that, and good hands).
Let's give it more than one game, people. Kadri is REALLY hard to play with - he's a puck hog, and he is all over the place. No one has any idea what he'll do next. Huberdeau has figured out how to be effective with him. Once Farabee figures out that Huberdeau will find him when he' open, and that if Kadri has the puck, just go to the net, I am sure he will be effective in that role.
Switching back to Pospisil is just giving up. It's pointless. So let's give this experiment more than one game.
