Would you try:

Gardiner - Rielly
(offensive line)
Hainsey - Zaitsev
(shut down line #1)
Borgman - Polak
(shut down line #2)

or possibly switch Hainsey and Borgman

Borgman - Zaitsev
Hainsey - Polak​

I don't like the idea of Mo and Jake getting stuck on the ice after an icing and the opposition sends out their A line.
Also I don't think Borgman is ready for top 4 yet.

I am happy the way it is and with some more playing time there is a potential for them to be better

I like Hainsey / Rielly and Gardiner / Zaitsev combo

I like the mixing of a younger player with a vet. Hainsey's important in further bringing along Rielly, Polak should help the rookie Borgman, and Gardiner may not be much older than Zaitsev, but he has significantly more NHL experience.
