If Jake could carry his own line, that would be huge. Not sure if Sid wants to split up from Jake. I think it would be cool to have someone like Jake or Rust on the 3rd line to help the scoring. I do think DOC starts on the 3rd though and we see what he can do to begin with. I feel like a Harkins-Eller-DOC line could be very interesting.

The HAN line that likely doesn't shoot first.

Personnel may be right, but it’s a foregone conclusion Jake will play on Sid’s LW, as he should.
