You're right about the bottom 6, would have to spread out the Top 6 into pairs to at least be able to run 3 solid lines. In no order:

Tkachuk-Stützle-Sokolov
DeBrincat-Pinto-Giroux
Greig-Norris-Batherson

Kind of feels like the additions over the last season were who is good, not who is a good fit.

Chychrun was a bit of a head scratcher to play on the off hand. The line Cat is on doesn't have a higher threat target than him, so it's easier to shut him down. Back in Chicago you knew if you didn't double up on Kane he'd make you pay, so Cat has a lot of chances to get open.
