Splitting Suzuki and Caufield

I think it’s a bad idea
Suzuki-Caufield is our legit 1st line
We have enough depth to change the 2nd and 3rd line to find good chemistry

Habs : We finally have a good one young duo for the next 10 years
Some habs fans : Lets split them

As much as I loved watching them in the playoffs last year, that's a pretty small sample size to say they'll be a duo for the next 10 years lol.

It will be Caufield's first full season, so there's undoubtedly going to be some ups and downs. Putting him on a somewhat sheltered 3rd line with a steady guy like Toffoli wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. It would also give Poehling a chance to produce with solid linemates and Caufield would still get PP1 minutes.

Let's not forget that Suzuki-Drouin was a decent duo as well, and I think Anderson works well with that duo. The 2nd line is then setup similarly to the 90-24-11 trio.

I'd rather we gave the opposition more than one line to shut down.

Where's the gamebreaker on lines 2-3 if Caufield isn't there? It will be solid possession with mediocre production.

Toffoli, Gallagher Hoffman? We have lots of depth on the wing i would much rather keep Suzuki and Caufield together and only if absolutely necessary break them apart. 20 games is a small sample size, so lets first see if they can continue that chemistry instead of just assuming it will fail.
