I saw something that said that Dach was among Debrincat's most successful linemates, so the the lines I am running in my template are
Kubalik-Toews-Saad
Nylander-Strome-Kane
Suter-Dach-Debrincat
Kurashev-Kampf-Shaw
with the ability to swap Saad, Kubalik, or debrincat around whenever necessary. I think the initial reaction of "how dare you put debrincat on the 3rd line" is unnecessary because while yes, technically he is on the 3rd line, realistically he will be getting top PP minutes and he is also lining up with the (hopefully) future 1c of this org, which bodes well for his future if they perform well.
Aside from that, I think Kalynuk definitely gets a chance to prove himself, as it sounds like Bowman considers him NHL ready, but not too much difference. Think the Pens trade is alright but I'd probably do it.
