GM 4

I'm not opposed with moving Knies around again, he should spend most of his time with ROR though.

Edit: Although I'm not sure he should spend much time with JT and Willy. That line would most likely be a liability defensively.

i was listening to the Steve Dangle Podcast and he said the reason Kerfoot is always with JT and Willy (even tho theyre rly not great offensively together) is bc Willy's defence sucks and JT isent rly a great skater so kerfoot's presence makes that line better defensively. however, i think if u made that line for offensive draws only and dropped kerfoot down to Line 3, u can play line 3 in D situations and line 2 in O situations.

That might work when they play at home where you have last line change, but if you place a 5 game rookie who (understandably) has work to do on his defensive game on a line with Willy, Tampa is going to hammer than line with Stamkos-Point-Kuch.

as @Ritzy said I'd also leave it as is for all of those reasons. You can get Knies' minutes up by propping him up there situationally, PP, extra man on delayed penalties, etc etc. ROR is such a stabilizing force for a rookie still so early in his career, ROR can neutralize some little mistakes.

If and that's a big if, Bunting is back in the lineup, it's shouldn't be Knies that comes out. Probably ZAR.
