Quoting: Logan_Ollivier
Maybe in the preseason but once the regular season starts there is no point in breaking up one of the best lines in the game. Plus Kampf with Engvall and Jarnkrock or ZAR will be so good defensively that you can really target other teams 3rd and 4th lines with JT's line and hopefully really dominate other teams with our top 6. I like the idea of Guadette with Aube-Kubel and whoever else is on the 4th line to really attack other teams 4th lines and forecheck hard. They may only get 8-10 minutes a night anyways so you can really develop an identity 4th line that helps you in ways our 4th line couldn't do last season.
Agree, lines (imo) will be:
1/ Bunting, Mathews, Marner (arguably best line in nhl)
2/ Robertson (Kerfoot when Engvall is healthy), JT, Willy (Robertson is only forward waiver exempt so he goes, unless he explodes)
3/ ZAR,Kampf, Jarnkrok (shutdown matchup line - ZAR is so good defensively, he has to play here)
3/ Kerfoot( Engvall when healthy), Gaudette, AKN - hopefully energy, tough to play against & occasional goal
