toews at this point needs to be utilized as a Rich Mans marcus Kruger.

Saad-Schmaltz-Panik (Two big bodied 'shooters' with the playmaker, proven chemistry last yr with Schmaltz/Panik)

Forsling-Rutta
Keith-Murphy
Kempny-Seabrook
Franson (PP only or O-zone starts when neeeding a goal)

Crawford
Forsberg

Couldn't agree more, that 2nd line is probably our 1st line, rotate Seabs in and out too. It's one thing to promote/demote players based on a streaks but there's a decent body of evidence that Toews isn't our top 6 C yet he can still shut down while being mildly dangerous, Seabs hurts the team on many shifts, and Keith needs ice time reduction.
