Those would be my ideal lines as well!

as long as the second line can continue to crank over the next few games, I can see this happening...esp if Scheifele comes back soon and the first line is the same as this one and they play well...

Is it really “everyone” without Bryan Little?

Btw, any chance he comes back at some point? I found a statement by Chevy from a few months ago that’s leaning towards the fact that he’s retired (though he expressed uncertainty towards the word “retired” as a descriptor here), but with the caveat that it’s only because Little and their medical experts haven’t felt comfortable enough to update his status. I’m assuming by the time he recovers he’ll have trouble playing hockey again, so it feels like his contract is pretty much dead at this point. Would love to see a huge comeback story though.

I remember there was one Chevy media availability where he said there were currently no medical opinions saying that Little should play.

I know its only been one game together, but I liked the Dubois-Connor combination.

He will never play again but he wont retire cuz he is making his 5.2M for the next few years...why give that up...I would think that once his contract runs out, he'll retire

Yup. LTIRetire.
