This is a great fall back if we are not getting it done with what the coach will do which is talent on top 2 lines

why are Sabre fans obsessed with watering down a Top 6 that is finally pretty good?

While our Top 6 got better while our bottom 6 got worse defensively.

We need to use our depth like this or teams will feast on us vs our bottom 6 forwards

It appears Cozens will be a solid NHL performer.
Arttu could easily make it to the NHL as a PK forward if not on a scoring line.
Thompson has been a beast in the AHL after he added a few pounds. IMO management is expecting him to take a huge step forward after offering him a 3 yr contract.
Mittelstadt could also be ready to step up. Give him better line mates and he will do much better.
It appears Olofsson will be playing his off wing.

I definitely like your idea to separate Hall from Eichel and putting Jeff back with jack.

Finally, with Sam on the third line with Dylan and Arttu could be pure genius.
That could be better than any second line we have had in the last dozen years.
Regardless, it is refreshing that there are many options that could work really well.
