You can very easily roll four lines and keep everyone happy, and I'd argue that's exactly how this roster is constructed.
The Capitals had Dowd, Duhaime and Raddysh eating all the defensive zone starts in a shutdown role as the de facto "4th line" last year and they found tremendous success. All 4 lines they had averaged between 11-14 minutes a game at five on five for them where as our discrepancy was between 8-15 minutes, and our 4th line sucked anyways.
