I'm excited for this line up. I thought they would put Kassian back with McDavid, but he's a good fit with Sheahan and Archibald.
Nice that Neal is back and skating as well.

Yes. Having Neal and Chiasson as the 4th line wingers would be a nice luxury to have.
Gives the double shift option for McDavid or Draisaitl and still reasonable wingers when doing so.
Really hoping they aren't rushing Yams

Is this the actual line up for tomorrow or just what Stauffer predicts when people are healthy? I know Neals outside of the top 4 but I didnt think he was close so its just a little confusing.
Really like the top 9.

I suspect is Yamamoto is good to go, Granlund will go down.
Just wanna shout out Lagesson. He has played pretty great. I don't know if you slot Russell back in even if he is totally healthy. Lagesson has been solid, solid, solid.

Hes been good but I think he will probably get slotted out when Klefbom is back, not Russell. I suspect Lagesson will serve as the #7.

By which metric has Lagesson been pretty great? All indications are that he has been dog shit and shouldn't be playing at the NHL level.

Big game. Maybe biggest of McDrai career.
Hope they stay settled and play a smart and hard game. If the lineup posted actually plays that is the best we have seen in a good while. Missing Klefbom hurts a bunch but an emphasis on defense first like when McDavid was away can go a long ways. McDavid needs to buy into that.

Yamamoto being ready this early would be huge.
Would rather play AA-McDavid-Kass and have Ennis down with Sheahan/Archibald, personally.
Don't think he's been solid the last two games at all, but he's probably a 6-7 on merit overall. Would play Russell over him and that's coming from someone who has very little patience for Kris Russell.

54 goals? Must've been the money!
Archie-Sheahan-Kassian is a big, fast, checking line.
I personally thought Tipp would put Kass back with McDavid but I’m definitely not opposed to this.

Neal on one leg would be more effective than Chiasson right now.
You'd be hard pressed to find a bad play by him in the last 3 or so games, and he's made plenty of solid controlled plays. He's been very good in his time.
