The one thing that keeps bothering me the more i think about it is Bratt's usage. He looked fantastic whenever he was on the ice, meanwhile the 3rd and 4th line looked shaky whenever games got intense and they particularly struggled with possession. I mean just look the those line compositions, the third line served no purpose at all, it couldn't get going offensively against tougher teams and they couldn't defend either.
If you insert Bratt on the third line and move down Loui you'd have 3 scoring lines, with the third line bringing a lot of energy and speed. The 4th line would've been stacked with Loui-Kruger-Lindblom, slow as hell but they're all very good at winning board battles and would've been heavy to play against.
It was so obvious in this game, the swiss game and the russia game that our top-6 looked great while the bottom-six got nothing done. Which is especially funny because this team arguably had better depth than every team they've faced excluding Russia.
