It's time to break up the first unit. Move Spezza or Benn down to the second unit and put two D out there on the top unit. This four forward crap isn't working.
Yep. The most important premise to start with is 2 Dmen and 3 forwards per unit. Next is Klingberg must be on the 1st unit. The other Dman isn't as important, could be any of Goligoski/Daley/Demers depending on who's going the best.
I wouldn't move Spezza down to the 2nd unit though. Starting with possession is so damn important. Spezza should be taking as many of those 1st faceoffs as possible and treating them with the same urgency as a final seconds protecting a lead defensive zone type faceoff. You lose that and you're taking 20 seconds off the clock or around 33% of the 1st unit's likely total ice time.
Benn can be sent to the 2nd group. I've always regarded PP play as his greatest weakness. And now with whatever is bothering him he's as much a liability as a strength. Benn and Seguin's chemistry is mainly based around their even strength play, Seguin will be fine without him on the PP.
So right now I think your strongest alignment is probably
Klingberg, Other D, Spezza, Seguin, Ritchie
2nd unit I would go
Other D, Other D, Benn, Hemsky, Roussel
