My idea with those lines is to make all four lines as effective as possible. I think Wood would be a good winger for Mitts - a north south player who can work with him along the boards and is also 100% shoot first. Rantanen with Mitts is a no brainer, and having Wood there to do the dirty work lets Rantanen play more like the finesse player he really is.Let's not big brain this. The solution to Miles Wood playing like ass is NOT to move him up to the 2nd line and move Nichushkin to the 3rd line.
Also Bednar's never been a spread the wealth kind of guy, at most he does this with his top 2 lines but never down to the third and 4th.
Meanwhile, Colton gets Nichushkin so that Colton can be the support player on the line, and Nuke can feast on weaker competition. Nuke and Duhaime would also ideally help cover up some of Colton's defensive deficiencies.
We've seen the 3rd line with Colton and Wood doesn't seem to work without LOC, so let's split them up and use them as the support guys on their lines rather than expecting either of them to drive a line.
