Description

3 solid lines including a stacked 1st line.
Hyman-McLeod-Puljujarvj posted great numbers, albeit for 1 game, however I think it deserves another look.

Holloway looked great this weekend, we can probably expect a call-up by mid Feb.

But put him in a position to succeed, don't just stick him in a 4th line with Ryan and Kassian.
Holloway-RNH-Yamo can be a skill line against easier competition.

The main advantage of Kane is another talented body to help spread out the offence. Putting him with McDavid and Drai squanders that advantage with a nuclear option and a bunch of meh.

I'd personally go something like:

Kane-McDavid-Foegele
Hyman-Draisaitl-Puljujarvi
Holloway-Nuge-Yamamoto
McLeod-Ryan-Kassian

the only problem I have is the third line. When they had that line but, instead of Holloway it is Hyman and that line was not producing except for Hyman. I'd personally put Holloway with Draisaitl because they can really use some playmaking to replace Nuge on the second line

Why is it a bunch of meh? The Hyman-McLeod-Puljujarvi line did extremely well against Toronto.
RNH and Yamamoto have good chemistry, and adding a fast, tenacious player in Holloway would only compliment them. Plus they'd face much easier competition.

I'd be hesitant to force Holloway into a top 6 role. Putting him on a sheltered 3rd line with skill is the best thing for him. At least in the short term.
