Armia can't execute at the speed Caufield and Suzuki do and his passing took a nose dive the last two seasons. He's the archetype of what they need as a winger thought, but he's too slow now.
Of course, that's a rush line, he has no prayer of keeping up. They are one and done because Caufield doesn't need many chances. That's why Newhook could work there actually. That makes Suzuki a digger tho maybe... Newhook has more awareness than Anderson and could make plays maybe, though he also seems to force things when he runs out of room and doesn't win puck battles. Maybe Caufield/Suzuki could help him with his rushes though, that's their specialty. He seems to settle for what they give him and doesn't make the defense move, then read the feet, etc. Or just put Monahan there and inflate his numbers, then trade him for a high pick?
Armia could work on a line with either Dach or Monahan though. Could keep Monahan away from the boards and healthy, and lets us drop Slaf to a lower line until he gets his bearings. Especially if Gallagher's game isn't back (though I bet it will be).
Problem is we don't have a playmakers to go around if both Manahan and Dach play center. Someone has to get Money the puck. And you don't want Money buried on a third line either. Might not be an issue when Dvorak comes back tho.
