Crazy thought: instead of going Crosby-Malkin-Letang for 3-on-3 OT, why not do this to opponents:
1. Crosby-Kessel-Letang
2. Malkin-Perron-Pouliot
3. Bonino-Hornqvist-Maatta
I figured that with the addition of Kessel, there wasn't the need to overload with Crosby and Malkin in OT, since the Pens could still overwhelm with offense for at least two groups, while the third group adds a bit more defensive responsibility on top of still having at least some offensive capability. I'm not sure all that many OTs would even last long enough to get to the third group, one way or another, but it sure would be exciting!
Any other thoughts on how to go with 3-on-3 OT?
