I wouldn't mind seeing Palat-Drouin-Stamkos right from the get-go, with maybe Stamkos and Drouin splitting faceoff duties. Sure, it'd be a lot of pressure for Drouin, but at the same time, all the other team's focus will be on those other two guys, so it could make it a little easier for him. I agree though that he's most likely to start on the 3rd line.
I'd like that too, because I fully believe he can rise to the challange and especially like you said with guys like Stamkos and Palat (who will be on every coaches pre-game radar starting next year), he'll be given more open space.
