Karlsson to 3C when everyone is healthy

I don't mind this at all. I think Eakin (really a 6C) has to get moved in the next 3 weeks. I've been preaching Justin Schultz all this time and still sticking with that. But your lineup looks good to me. The speed of line 3 is lethal.

Lineup looks good to me. I’ve also been kicking around some ideas. But mine is also Glass as 2C. I think you could put just about anyone there and they’d look fine, with PAC and Stone.

My idea is

Stephenson Karlsson Smith
(Stephenson looked fine there when Marchy was out)

Pacioretty Glass Stone
Like I said, the Glass would be good here

Marchy Stastny Tuch
Both W have mentioned how they love playing with Stastny because of his Hockey IQ

Carrier Eakin Nosek
Have no problem trading Eakin and moving Nosek to C and Reaves back in

I agree, Eakin has to go. That 3.85 million could be spent in much better ways.

I don't mind those lines either. The only concern I have with your lines and my lines is Stephenson at LW. I may be wrong, but from what I've seen it seems like he produces more when he's playing center. It could just be that he hasn't played much winger, but he has been great as a center.

I think it’s kinda your last thought. He’s been so good a C, we don’t think about him back a W. But that Blues game, when he scored the OT winner, he was a the 1LW with Marchessault out.

But it will be interesting when everyone returns
