I know this might look crazy but here me out, hopefully we don't get to a point where we need to shuffle our lines this significantly but if we did, just listen to this longshot:

1. Its only recently that Crosby has started playing on a line with 2 stars, before he'd turn 4th liners into 40 point players
2. It looks like Vinnie is gonna start on the top unit while Guentlzle is out, so we'll have a look at how this works before we need to make a drastic shuffle like this
3. Rust and Henestroza were linemates at Notra Dame
4. This creates a third line that can compete with any first line. It would also fit the Pens idea of a third line that is very good Defensively and now that all of a sudden has two elite offensive weapons on it
5. It would not be hard for Guentzle and Rackell who already of chemistry together to build chemistry with Elhar
6. The "1 superstar on each of the top 3 lines" is the strategy that lead to the 2016 cup run

Thoughts?
