Description

Keep the top 2 lines together, you don’t mess with a winning formula.

Third line had a spectacular game against Vegas, so keep them together for now.

Kotkaniemi has struggled so far this year so maybe a fresh start on a lower line can help him regain his mojo (plus he still has 2 solid linemates in Cousins and Weal)

Thompson’s out but he’s pretty bad so no loss there.

Finally, put Kulak back in he’s very good.

What are you talking about? Thompson as been great since the beginning of the season, he play on pk, work hard along the board and is good on faceoff. He is perfect on the fourth line. The problem isn’t kotkaniemi, it byron and lehkonen. The kids is supposed to donwhat with those two wingers, suzuki won’t do better they should try to put suzuki with kotkaniemi that would gave a boost for that third line and keep lehkonen on left side byron must go is time in Montreal is done
