Description

I feel like Pascal is overthinking the lines and changing too much based on who’s hot or appears to be working hard. Just set the lineup with the best players and let them figure it out. I get that rewarding hard work is a culture thing, but really these guys are all working hard and the best players have to play the most if this team wants to win.

Completely agree with this. I know the organization hates to lose another player for less than they are worth by making a move now, but there is no way to develop chemistry or actually evaluate these fringe guys when they are constantly in and out of the lineup.

These are good lines.

Fantilli is ready for the top line, and hopefully Laine can return ASAP.

Boone should be able to help drive and mentor KJ and Marchenko.

If Roslovic can continue driving play, he should be able to help elevate Texier and Sillinger offensively.

Bemstrom has been good, but he is best suited as a fill-in player, not a guy getting regular top-6 minutes.

Every line here has a good mix of grit vs skill, size vs speed, and offense vs defense.
