What would you guys think about pencilling in Colton long-term on the first line? Allow Drouin and Nuke to play on Mittelstadt's line. He seems to have legit scoring skill when put with elite playmakers. Certainly more than Drouin and maybe more than Lehkonen. Maybe he'll turn into our Zach Hyman.

Then see if one of LOC, Kovalenko, or Lehkonen can play 3C. The other 2 can play wing. That'd be a tough 3rd line to play against. Then you'd have a 4th line of Kiviranta, Wood and Kelly (or Ivan Ivan).

This is a long way of saying trade Lehky... get him boys!

I wonder whether Mittelstadt and Drouin would mesh well. Though Mitteldtadt has impressed me so far this season.

Can’t run a 3rd line without a legit center.

I can’t wait to have a GDT created tonight when we are halfway through the first period.

I believe they've already played together and seemed to click really well, I'd just be concerned about the lack of a really big shot with those two paired up, definitely limits who you could put on that RW.
