kadri and lupul seem to have no chemistry.
How do we fix this?
1st and 3rd lines are doing well.

1st have played well for exactly 3 games. They have not been consistent at all. Maybe try switching Bozak and Kadri for a bit?

That doesn't really fix the 2nd line, it just reshapes the top line which OP claims is already working fine.
JVR-Kadri-Kessel
Lupul-Bozak-Winnik
Switching JVR and Lupul gets you closer to the desired solution (improving the 2nd line)
Lupul-Bozak-Kessel
JVR-Kadri-Winnik
Lupul Kadri/Bozak Kessel
JVR Santorelli Clarkson
Komarov Kadri/Bozak Winnik
It could fix the second line, you don't know how Bozak and Lupul would fair together.
Kadri put up his best numbers when he was a sheltered 3C so I'd be behind Santorelli centering the 2nd line.
That said, I don't want to break up that third line.
2nd line still has the best possession numbers on the team, by a good margin.
goals will come.
I really hesitate to separate Komarov and Clarkson. They seem to have a chemistry going on the forecheck, and just in general.
JVR and Kessel have chemistry, but I would consider running Lupul with Bozak and Kessel, and running JVR with Kadri for a bit. Just to try and shake up that 2nd line.
Splitting up the two American phenoms may not seem like an amazing idea, but Lupul and Kessel have had chemistry in the past.
Although, then again, so have Lupul and Kadri....
I'd also try Holland on 2nd line wing for a bit, but I might be alone in that thought.
