id play Nino 3rd line RW in this scenario just because Parise/Koivu/Coyle have had solid chemistry in the past.
There is something to be said for having 2 younger sets of legs with each of the older guys:
Zucker - Staal - Granlund
Nino - Koivu - Kunin (if healthy)
Parise - Eriksson Ek - Coyle
Younger players each get insulated by 2 veterans, every plays their correct side, can still play Koivu's line in a defensive role and feel ok about it. I'd want both Kunin and Greenway in Iowa, but it's pretty clear right now that one of them is going to be up.
