My ideal lines are

Tatar-Danault-Gallagher (why mess with what works)
Toffoli-Kotkaniemi-Caufield (I have Caufield here cause I don't want 2 smallish players on the same line in CC and NS)
Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson (played well together early in the season so lets go back to it)
Armia-Staal-Perry (shutdown line)

Lehkonen, Evans, Byron

Edmundson-Petry (top pair)
Gustafsson\Romanov-Weber
Chiarot-Romanov\Gustafsson

Merril, Kulak

Price
Allen
Primeau

Honestly, don't know what I want, if healthy there are too many options. I don't want Evans out and Lehkonen has always been good with playoff hockey -- yet who to take out? Even more so if Caufield makes the lineup!?

IMO Chiarot needs to play on the bottom pair, each pair will have a mobile PM D man and a good positional D man with all 6 capable of clearing the front of the net.

As for the forwards, CC has to be in the lineup for his shot on the PP if nothing else. I like Byron and Lehkonen so maybe we rotate them in and out with Armia and Perry.
