Speculation: Who is the high quality player on your team who just isn't meshing on any lines?

I'd say when he gets healthy, Evander Kane. If the additions of Skinner/Arvidsson means no top 6 spot I'm not sure how 5.1m fits on the 3rd line.

If Kane can come back healthy, I'd like to see if he could fit back with McDavid. We've tried plenty of Kane with Draisaitl and I just don't think there's a fit there. I like RNH on Draisaitl wing. I guess it comes down to how Skinner looks in the top 6 when Kane is healthy. Cause Skinner is kinda a top 6 or bust.

Timo Meier has been the best player on that line, if anyone is not fitting in there it's Hughes, who has been terrible to start the season.

The entire Ducks roster... when we've scored 3 times in 2 games...

As a fan I'm more afraid of receiving a power play because of the potential of giving up a shorty is higher than us scoring.

Now that I think about it now though, you don't really want Timo on line 3 and Keefe wants to match Nico's line against opponents top lines which may not be the preferred way to use Timo either. So maybe in that way he doesn't fit with the team lol

I don’t know if the Flyers have the right line mates for Couturier, now that he’s lost yet another step. He’s still good at everything he’s good at, but he moves like his skates are made of concrete. He’d be great with a couple grind it out, puck possession guys who control the zone and apply pressure down low, but we’re a dump and chase team by Tortorella’s design, and he’s a dump and figure it out 20 seconds later guy now.
