Or move them both between the two depending on which is playing better. Boldy drives the 2nd line, but the top line needs the help usually.
Ek is an easy down the lineup move when Rossi is healthy... he's okay, but he's not driving offense... he's just not hurting it either. Rossi and Yurov put into offensive positions appear to actually help their linemates offensively more, help maintain zone pressure. Ek is more of a park in front of the net guy which is fine on the PP, but not so hot 5 on 5 when you need to cycle
I agree. We can just call Rossi's line the second line and the Boldy-Ek line the third line. It's just a number.
It’s almost like Tarasenko and Ek go together like oil and water go together. Yet, geniuses on this board want to put them back together

Well he’s no Rossi offensively but he was our second best center which is a hit to take when we had zero depth and injuries piling up
Our best defensive center who’s somehow turned into a trenin level disappointment offensively. Ek looking cooked for almost a year now is as big of a hit to this team as anything that’s happened recently
Admittedly I have only been able to watch about 1/3rd of the recent hit streak. Has Ek returned to form??
Not finishing at the level he did a few years ago but he's been a monster defensively and very good on the dot. That line with Ek and Boldy was a two-way tour de force in November.
Hopefully the offense returns , 23-24 and up until he was injured last year he looked every bit of the 70pt C we need that can be plugged in anywhere. He has skill , not sure where it went
