Guessing that's the case too since Dean likes to "spread the wealth", but from the limited sample size I've seen them play together I think they have really good chemistry. Fiala seems like a natural fit if you play them together and I think Boldy especially would compliment Fiala very well with his play away from the puck.

Yeah I’ve noticed the same, they have good chemistry and the skill level to play with Fiala. It would def be exciting, I just think Dean will hedge against Boston line matching and beating up on them a bit.
I guess we’ll get a general idea after they practice today.
Honestly, depending on how practice goes. It might work, it might not. But I would hesitate to put two rookies on a line with Fiala. Because, as much as I love him, it's still Fiala. That's asking for trouble.
Having a single rookie on a line is safer all things considered, and I wouldn't be surprised if they split them up and give Rossi his shot with Kaprizov and Zuccarello from the get go. It's honestly giving him the highest chance to succeed right away. Same with Boldy. Furthermore, it comes down to better line balance. Kap and Zucc get the dynamic playmaking scorer their line truly needs and Fiala gets the gritty defensive minded but skilled enough to compliment him line that
he needs.
Kaprizov-Rossi-Zuccarello
Fiala-Hartman-Boldy
That's what I hope to see. If it doesn't work, then, move them around. Until both Rossi and Boldy get some experience up with the big club, I'd rather keep them off separate lines.
