Yep. I like it. But then again I was asking for a different third when Drai was on that line, so I'm fine with options. Kass has audtioned well this season thus far and brung his game. Nice reward playing with these two on 2nd line. Just as with Foegele maybe he gets sparked by the Hyman energy. One worry though is that both Hyman and Kass tend to get caught up ice, on the wrong side of the puck, so unfortunately that would pre-empt some of the more offensive swerve we've seen from Nuge this season. He'll have to be the responsible one as Center.
Yama is a good part of our EV GA limiting. Thats the best part of him, is he'll be there for puck support and is a very honest player in own zone. We just saw the Foegele miscue and so this is a Tippett way to adress that and to limit how much 3rd line is getting scored on (too much).
