Did his line even come back on the ice after that? It's not like they get a ton of minutes anyway.

Lindholm had some very good shifts. I would start to think of moving him up, because Nash can't keep pace offensively with Dvorak (let alone Skinner).
Wait until at least 20 games mark before judging differences between this year and last, and the team overal
First few games can be a fluke. People here are so quick to jump to the conclusions.
Skinner-Ruutu-Dvorak seems like that should be a thing in the near future.
The line I wouldn't mess up is Gerbe-JStaal-Dwyer. Ruutu adds some scoring and physicality in replacing Dwyer, but you lose speed and defense.
In replacing Nash, I think Ruutu is equal to or better at just about everything. And we know he can play with Skinner.
Carolina should just send Lindholm back to Brynäs, hes not evolving his offensive game playing 7mins a night, and the fact that hes playing on the 3/4th line in one of the worst teams in the NHL dont help his confidence either. An AHLer like Rask could "grind" those minutes instead
