Blash on the other hand uses the first line too much because that's the only line that can score. He might need to start managing Ray Ray's ice time.
Yeah, he should get 2nd line duties.
Maybe Vrana takes the 1st line role, when he comes back and we'll make a different look. 100% sure guy is full on energy and has had skating training like crazy, because the shoulder injury won't limit that. He will be a MAD skater when returns.
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Vrana
Fabbri - Suter - Raymond
These guys have the highest forward overall minutes, if I merge current and last season.
Definitely worth to try.
Ps. And after that, please put that Veleno-Rasmussen-Zadina together as 3rd line, if that Traverse City magic, once seen before corona era, could reborn.
These are my Top3 lines I projected already at summer. Only problem there was that I had an X (at RW position) at Top2 lines. Coudn't predict who that would be.
Since the season started, it has been clear, that it's Raymond.
