I agree, time to take the handcuffs off Stutzle and let him play with some guys that can keep up a little better to his skill level.IMO it's time to bring up both L. Brown & Formenton & tweak the lineup by moving Stutzle around to play with his roommates. They should also have a look at Daccord at some point.
Tkachuk - Norris - Stutzle
Paul - L. Brown - Batherson
Dadonov - White - C. Brown
Formenton - Tierny - Watson
Chabot - Zaitsev
Wolanin - Zub
Reilly - Gudbranson
Murray - Hogberg/Daccord
You can’t have Tierney and brown together unless it’s your fifth line.I really really want to see Tkachuk-White-Dadonov. The Paul-White-Dadonov line has been absolutely buzzing the last few games, and I feel like adding Tkachuk to that line would add the finish that we need. Tkachuk feels like a waste with Tierney and Brown.
I'd go with:
Tkachuk-White-Dadonov
Paul-Tierney-Brown
Stutzle-Stepan-Batherson
Galchenyuk-Norris-Watson

I like this line up but I think Connor Brown is our second best RW. Batherson just hasn't been able to make it happen (yet). Not saying he won't in the future, but right now he is getting shut down. I'd have him on the third or fourth line. I might even play Watson ahead of him. Brown isn't exactly filling the net either but I feel like he gets closer to making things happen than Batherson.
We need to get this guy on the roster a.s.a.p
When Form comes up, do you think Paul moves to centre, with Stepan getting the boot?
Honestly at this point, I only think Formenton gets a chance if Stepan is traded. It seems unlikely that Smith makes Stepan a healthy scratch at this point, but who knows right?
We could also see Stützle get a chance at center by that team (if Formenton impresses enough to get called up later in the season) as promised when he was first drafted as they said he would start on wing and get a chance at centre at some point:
Tkachuk- Stützle - Dadonov
Dzingel- Norris- Batherson
Paul - White - C. Brown
Formenton- Tierney- Watson
