Would be way better off keeping and playing Strome on the 2nd line then some non NHL player like
Reese Johnson.. Lol

You should consider putting strome on 1C as well. The chemistry those three have is insane and if you look at the stats dach has with cat and Kane last night, they were absolutely god awful.

100% agreed. I think Debrincat needs to slit up with Kane. They can reunite on the PP, but 5v5...kane's stunk both games.

Kane is playing injured, expect him to play like he did towards the end of last year and not do much.

I'm not saying you're wrong. If that's the case...all the more reason for the lines to change. Hagel Dach Kane would add hustle and size. Put Stome with Debrincat for today's game.

I agree line shuffles like these need to happen. But Kane himself has said he still has a nagging injury. Heres the article and video by Roumeliotis: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/blackhawks/blackhawks-patrick-kane-admits-nagging-injury-isnt-completely-healed

No joke there, not great stuff from Kane. But yea, could be playing injured.

Reese Johnson plays similar to Hagel but with less scoring and more hits. A player like Hagel, Hardman, and Reese on each line will open up a lot of room on the ice for their line-mates. They create turnovers and mistakes by the other team and they all play stronger defensively coming back and breaking up plays. A 4-3 loss can be a 3-2 win and their work ethic and heart is contagious for the room. Strome is skilled but he is only randomly in the play as he skates in circles. When scoring, he looks amazing but he is not playing a complete game. 5 on 5, Chicago is struggling. Trying these lines for a few games would not hurt.

Dach isn't the face-off specialist that TJ is but Dach adds much needed size on the line, and he plays well in the corners and behind the net in the offensive zone. The line will be better balanced with him.
