Lyubimov not being a regular on the team would be a mistake, in my opinion. Seems like he could be one part of a fourth line as good as any since the Lappy-Betts-Powe line of old and that he can move up to the third in an injury pinch. VDV should be going before anybody else based purely on a combination of potential and merit and I'd much rather see a guy like Read or, if he doesn't show improvement, Laughton scratched based on what I'm seeing so far.
Regardless, I imagine a lot of these forward slotting issues are going to be decided by the games Schenn is suspended for. That opens up a valuable spot, which I wouldn't be surprised to see Konecny be tested out in before making a final decision with him. Also gives a chance to see how Lyubimov does in actual NHL action.
