I don't think a player like Poehling is going to struggle if he's put on the wing. As I've said before he should be put with domi and can switch in for faceoffs and win the puck and make space for Domi. And while Suzuki is being paired with him, I think Poehling can't be worse than Drouin, and completes a Domi/Suzuki duo way better.
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Poehling-Domi-Suzuki
Drouin-KK-Lehkonen/Armia
Byron-Weal-Armia/Lehkonen
If he won't be put on Domi's wing because of Suzuki, then I think he should play with Byron and Armia on the fourth line.

Maybe creating some competition between these KK and Poehling lines will help consistency. Lots of competition on this team is going to help when injuries hit but also for good efforts night in night out. We need to wear other teams out.
