Description

This won't happen, but this is what I would do. That third line is defense first with a physical element. They can get thrown to wolves nightly. The 4th line is younger, faster, and more talented than what we have had in the past. DOC moves back to center and gets two talented play makers flanking him.

Interesting. I feel like Nieto and Acciari are more suited for the 4th line, and Nylander and Puusty could work on the 3rd. DOC isnt really a C, but he wasnt awful last season. Maybe they transition him to a C.

Quoting: Marcsnack

I feel like we don't have a true 3rd or 4th line. It's just the top 6 and bottom 6 so I wasn't focused on traditional roles. DOC came into Wilkes as a center, was their top center when he was down there. Sully transitioned him to wing, but does play him at center when we are short. I like DOC better at center for roster flexibility, but doubt it happens.

Interesting take. For me personally the 4th line worries me a bit. I don't think Nylander or Puustinen fit 4th line duties/roles too well. I actually think the 4th line last year was pretty good, better than this imo. But sometimes players just click together, so who knows. If we knew Sully would give the 4th line ozone starts, that might change things for me. But I don't see him doing that
