Who are the two guys you are taking out once Thornton and Robertson are healthy? To me the 4th line is set with some combination of Engvall, Spezza, Boyd, and Petan. The third line when healthy could be Robertson, Thornton, and Mikheyev. Can’t see Joe taking Hyman off the top line. IMO the lineup when healthy should look:
Hyman Matthews Marner
Nylander Tavares Simmonds/Mikheyev
Robertson Kerfoot/Thornton Simmonds/Mikheyev
Engvall/Petan Spezza/Thornton Boyd
Vesey Barabanov on the outs. A roster player has to go the other way in a Bennett trade
