id loike to see Anderson with Caufield and Suzuki. add some speed, size and energy to that line. Gallagher and Toffoli can't be together, way too ****ing slow

I didn't see the power plays last game but here would be the lines id like to see

Anderson-suzuki-caufiled
Toffoli-dvorak-hoffman
Drouin-evans-gallagher. hate moving Drouin down but I don't want Gally and Toffoli
Lehkonen-brooks-armia. see how brooks does and maybe replace him with Byron as you have when healthy

pp

Caufield-dvorak-hoffman
Petry-suzuki

I said before the season even started that Suzuki and Caufield need someone on their line that draws attention. Anderson does that, but he's probably stuck with the one line that is working, so Gallagher is the only real choice left.

Toffoli works by avoiding attention until it's too late for the other team to react, and Armia can often be ignored as his skill is as a board player. The remaining options aren't enough of a threat or disruptive to a point where they would have any real impact.

That leaves ...
Caufield - Suzuki - Gallagher
Drouin - Dvorak - Anderson
Toffoli - Evans - Hoffman
Lehkonen - ? - Armia

I'd like to see someone more offensively inclined on the 3rd line and have Evans on the 4th, but we don't currently have a player that fits.

The defense is a lost cause.
Nobody has been able to replace Edmundson with Petry.
Romanov nor Chiarot are the right fit for Savard, and they can't play together either.
Kulak and Wideman don't have the skill set to play this defensive system, and Romanov and Chiarot aren't good enough to cover their deficiencies in our own zone.
Niku coming back isn't going to change anything significantly.
