If you roll all 4 lines evenly, hes not necessarily the 3C or whatever. He's just got Chimera and Ward as his line mates. AND he gets a ton of PP1 time. He's not being put on some shut down line in this scenario.
Think bigger picture here
But has Oates shown any tendency to roll all 4 lines evenly? Is he going to give the 3rd line equal minutes to the 1st line? I'd personally rather see Grabo at 1C and reunite the CLAW line for the 3rd line.
