I agree with you. Our second line should be Drouin Domi Byron, like it was at the end last night. I would try Suzuki on the third line with KK and Lehkonen for at least the next 2-3 games and if it doesn't work out, then I would send him down. I don't think sending him down now would send a good message. We don't want him to be constantly scared of making mistakes at the NHL level.

I'd say give him a couple more games at least before making a decision.

He had a good chemistry with Weal in preseason and he's responsible defensively. I don't see him on a 4th line as an obstacle to his progress.

I doubt Thompson get scratched (Julien likes him), but we could have a 4th line Cousins-Weal-Suzuki or Weal-Thompson-Suzuki but maybe Weal would'nt fit LW

Not a Habs fan but I watched the game last night,
Thompson is pretty decent still, the kind of guy you'd want centering a 4th line.

Got to give him more than 2 games to prove himself. But if by game 9 he's still kind of shaky, Laval for sure.
