They’re missing Reilly and Muzzin. They’re dangerous offensively, but their defense is beat to shit right now.

Yes, why would we break up a line that has been playing fantastic? This is the NHL, not a video game.
I'd personally like to see what Hughes can do between two competent offensive wingers for a few games in a lost season.

Sure, so would I, but if a line is clicking and doing well you shouldn't go mess with it in an effort to fix something else.

Depends if you think the season is lost or not. If you do, it's a good time to give auditions to the kids.

Maybe it's too early to do it, but I'd definitely like to try it for a few games before the season ends.

I really don't think it matters whether the season is lost or not, tinkering for the sake of doing so is never a good thing. Chances are just as good that you end up with 2 lines that don't work. If and when the line cools off or stops working, then you can make a change like that.

We were flipping out about Hynes tinkering with the lines when they even had a rare lead

Yup, and I hated it. He was always changing lines that were working and it almost always backfired spectacularly. If there isn't a good reason to make changes, don't do it.

I suppose I look at it more about development of Hughes than tinkering for tinkering's sake.
