That third line just cannot be trusted to play in their own end. Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi has looked very good. Putting Nylander on a third line with Holmberg and Knies/McMann could be almost as good offensively as the third line you proposed while still being solid defensively. Then you'd have McMann/Knies-Tavares-Marner. I think you have 3 lines that can defend any line and score against any line. I like that.
We have the personnel to have a 4th line that can shut down top competition and take important defensive zone starts: Dewar-Kampf-Jarnkrok. You don't need JT in a shutdown role, nor should he be.
