I don't often see Gallagher on the 4th, but I think 3rd line is the right place for him. He's one of our best forwards for turning defensive zone starts into offensive zone entries.
We could either use Anderson across from him to send up the ice or dump and chase with speed, or Toffoli for a more methodic approach.
While Evans works as 3C, it's probably better to start Poehling there. Evans is more reliable in our own end.
That also allows us to break up the 3rd line to get those players extra shifts.
Caufield will likely need some time to build up his stamina for the NHL pace, and Gallagher or Toffoli can spot him for a few shifts to keep him from getting gassed.
Evans can similarly take a few shifts from Poehling.
So you'll end up with Evans, Armia, and either Gallagher, Toffoli, or Anderson for a few shifts each game.
