Love the 3rd line. Give kids a chance to play together. If Hall doesn't re-sign move them up to the 2nd, or 2A/2B, line next season. Unfortunately, don't see it happening.

And less Ristolainen makes the team better. And that won't happen either....

We will probably see his minutes reduced slightly again, but i still see him getting the majority of ice time

Need someone to fish the puck out of the net after he does something stupid. He's one of the best at both...

I like it. In reality that fourth line will get more minutes than the third, but I like the framework here.

I think so too, they were leaned on heavy last year as well. This is why im not worried about an all rookie 3rd line. We have the option to deploy them in favorable situations, and can ride them when theyre hot

I completely agree with such lines, good job.
