Put Gagner on one of the top 2 lines RW cause he's closer to top 6 talent and drop Rattie to 3rd line RW, have Cave center the 3rd line and swap Lucic and Malone. The defense looks right, they really should've traded Petrovic, gotta think someone would've parted with a 6th or 7th for a depth RHD.

You're just arguing who the smartest **** is... changing the lines wont help anything. Bad team. Bad organization.

I'd go with:

Draisaitl - McDavid - Kassian - Kass looks like the protypical 3rd wheel for Drai and McD, big who can skate with soft hands, its a plus he's a right shot
Lucic - RNH - Chiasson - RNH is probably getting dealt the ugliest hand here but he's a soldier, also probably the best fit for Lucic on this team
Rieder - Cave - Gagner - they've been great in small sample sizes, I'd throw Currie in Gagner's spot once in a while because he's been great recently
Malone - Brodziak - Currie - If only Khaira was health, I'd scratch Brodziak. We seem to win games he's not dressed for, put JJ on the wing and slide Malone to centre with Lucic to 4LW and JJ with Nuge and Chiasson.

Klefbom - Larsson - always been our top line
Nurse - Benning - might be tough to watch but both are relatively good skaters and passers, has the tendency to miss assignments though
Sekera - Russell - had success in 2016-2017
