I think you're right on with the top line, no reason to change what worked flawlessly last season as long as Kuch is 100%.
I want Stamkos on the LW. I want every team worried about him 1-timing it like he did with the drop pass by Cirelli last game. I think his danger level just goes down substantially on the right side.
Also, to start, I think you have to try the Gourde line together in the playoffs. Killorn should be fine at 2RW if Cooper decided to make Stamkos a full-time LW.
As for the 4th, I don't think Stephens having missed time is the default play even with his faceoff ability. It's only the 4th line, and Johnson is capable of winning at least 50% of his draws. Maroon is a default play unless he's really just bad, but when we're going 12/6 instead of 11/7 I think Joseph has the edge over Volkov and Stephens.
