Looch is an asset, great to have on a team like Edmonton that can produce offensively, is a vet and can protect their guys. Still dont regret trading him though.
I think everyone forgets the first year Pastrnak played in the NHL, and was the year Spoons finally cracked the NHL lineup, it was towards the end of the season and they played on the same line together and the speed was dynamite. However, ever since then.... they have not played together. Sure its hard to justify have Spoons on the so called 1st line or Pastrnak on the 3rd line, however you want to look at it... but why not try to roll 3 even lines.
I propose... (starting lineup)
Marchand - Bergeron - Bjork
Vatrano - Spooner - Pastrnak
DeBrusk - Krecji - Backes
Acciari - Czarnik - Nash
Chara - Carlo
Grzelcyk - McQuaid
Miller - McAvoy
Furthermore to this... check out this article from the time period I am talking about when Pastrnak and Spooner played together. Interesting read from 2015 when they were a line of Lucic-Spooner-Pastrnak.
