because he has been an objectively good middle 6 forward
If a 45 year old Jagr - well past his best before date - is a middle 6 forward on this team - we are light years away from being in a contenders window.

He's been playing like one... on the fourth line. That's a good thing.

Jagr is a middle 6 forward on most teams tho.

Calling it now. He's going to put Brouwer on the top line.
the scary thing is that you're probably correct in that GG is thinking about it, notwithstanding the black hole statistically when Brouwer is put on a scoring line.

I'd love to see tkatchuk play on the top line (has he played any rw at this level yet)?
I'd also like to see Bennett but sounds like they are content to leave the 3rd line alone, as they should.
I believe he kind of has, I remember in the game vs the Canucks earlier in the season he got put on the top line for a shift or two. I don't really think it would change his game at all if he was put on the right.
It would be great if the Flames had an actual first line. At this point I’d be all for giving the Jankowski-Bennett line first line minutes and giving Gaudreau-Monahan third line minutes.
