Playoff lines

If Little is back he would Paul would definitley slot him in at 2C again and I wouldn't blame him tbh. I love Andrew Copp but I just don't think he meshes well with Laine and Ehlers style of play. He is a very good 3C though. Besides that this is probably the best we could put out there right now but knowing Paul he is probably going to put in Eakin for Harkins is my guess.

I know what Paul would do and it’s ridiculous and I disagree copp can play really well with laine and ehlers
Copp has a good possession Game and would benefit really well for laine and ehlers would work way better then little.. this also gets the most out of their lineup. Eakin probably would be in over harkens but he shouldn’t be.

I agree with that but if were talking about maximizing the most out of the top 6 I don't see why Paul doesn't put Ehlers-Scheifs-Patty together. That line was insane when it was together and no clue why it was changed. Then you could go with Connor-Little-Wheeler which would work well because Wheeler and Connor play similar games down low and Little used to have a ton of chemistry with Wheeler

Can forsure try that I just thinking a declining wheeler and a hurt all year little may not work so well id maybe even try Connor-copp-wheeler if scheif was in the middle of ehlers and laine

Even if Little IS healthy, why move Eakin right now? He played extremely well in the 8 games between Laine & Ehlers (5 points in 8 games). Until that isn't working anymore, I would leave him there. Also, why Niku over Beaulieu? Niku has not done much this year and Beaulieu has played excellent!
