Who exits the lineup when Cirelli comes back? I personally would drop Bellemare over Koepke for sure. Koepke has been way better in just about every way. The only reason I could see to keep Bellemare is PK and Cirelli can easily just slot into his spot on the PK. When Cirelli first comes back I'd give him a few games with Perry and Maroon to get back into it before he moves up. Then I'd run something along the line of this:
Hagel-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Stamkos-Paul
Colton-Cirelli-Koepke
Maroon-Namestnikov-Perry
Cirelli is tough because the 1st line looks set potentially for the whole season and he and Stamkos do not work together at all. In this scenario Tampa is really deep down the middle. Killorn, Paul, Colton, Koepke, and Namestnikov can really interchange however. Coops seems to like Colton with Maroon and Perry so maybe that would be the answer.
