Although during the season I do see the lines being changed and Burakovsky being moved up, opening night they will probably have the big line together.

oh for sure, I think they are experimenting with the Landy Kadri Saad line. They tried that with Nuke in Saads spot when they restarted the season. I think they want to see what they have with a true shutdown line. That combo of the 3 should be winning formation line they role out there to close out games

im also not a fan of that 3rd line, its very blah and when they have tried that combo it really doesn't do much, doesnt hurt you but doesnt drive the play.
Would love to see a Nuke Jost Calvert line for a bit, see what they have there

Mostly Agree, but I do like the third line, I feel it gives Compher a chance to have a much improved season, same with Nuke. That line also probably will not be a defensive liability
