What's the source on those lines? TM would be crazy to at least not try Lucic Nuge Kassian. I think Yamo is gonna be a hell of a hockey player but it was evident last game that line combo was much more efficient.
He knows what that line can do. I have no doubt if it's warranted, they'll see time together tonight. Definitely one of many options TMac has if things aren't looking good. Heck, if Kassian is looking good early, and the nucks are matching and limiting McDrai, throwing out Marron, McD, Kassian followed by Lucic, Drai, Strome/Yamo isn't a bad adjustment either.
Yamo looked like a rookie last game, but did he hurt the team? He sat, and probably has a burning desire to redeem himself. Hopefully he had a good practice and will bring it tonight. He probably is going down soon, so giving him some food for thought about the level he needs to be at is best done sooner than later, in my mind. He showed that he can think the game and compete at the early preseason level of intensity, let's give him a few games to see if he can adjust. I think throwing the rookie back out there is the correct move.
Plus, they can throw Kassian on his line, and we know that's fire
