Burrows is the best fit, even though all three players aren't the same anymore, as they were a few years ago.

Absolutely.

They're the best 'second line' in hockey at this point. We just don't have a first to give them more space.

It's like how Phoenix has been riding Shane Doan as a "first liner" for 20 years. He was never a true first liner... but he was always in that role.

I wonder how? From what I have seen Hamhuis is barely making a clean pass and his shots never get through. He seems at least a step behind in every play.

Ben Hutton plays better than him.

People always look at prospects through rose colored glasses. Hamhuis has been our best D most games this preseason.

Exactly. Another good thing about rolling all four lines, where we can rely on the fourth line to play close to third line minutes, is that it takes pressure off of the top two lines. We may not have a real "first line", but we have twice as much secondary scoring.
