Description

I'd like Brown to play with Strome, not with Ovechkin and Kuznetsov. So who do you think the best right wing to play with Ovie and Kuzy?
The 3rd line of my line combination looks a little bit weak by using Mantha on the 1st line.

I think swapping Brown and Mantha gives the top 6 a bit more balance. I feel like Brown is the most direct Wilson replacement in terms of style, and the Ovi-Kuzy-Wilson trio has already proven to be very effective. If they wanted to try someone else there, I honestly think Protas would be the next best guy. He certainly earned a spot in preseason and looked pretty good with Ovi and Kuz last year. That would leave the forward lines as something like:

Ovi-Kuzy-Protas
Mantha-Strome-Brown
McM-Eller-Mojo
Sheary-Dowd-Hath
