I think we may want to try next....
Dupuis-Crosby-Hornqvist
Kunitz-Malkin-Comeau/Downie
Spaling-Sutter-Bennett
Sill-Adams-Comeau/Downie
Malkin may be better with Kunitz than he is with Hornqvist, unless we find another guy like Bennett for that LW who brings that line together. Sid & Horny have enough chemistry that going D-C-H may not be a drop off on the first line, while giving Malkin a guy he may gel with more.
But I would also really like to try Megna on in the middle 6, particularly if we trade Spaling, who's dead weight and expendable if we can bring in another forward.
If Spaling doesn't get traded this year, we will appreciate having his depth for the playoffs, but he's DEFINITELY not worth $2.2 for the bottom 6 next season. Megna may not be better than Spaling yet, but he will be by next season. Heck, same could be said about Rust the way things are going.
