I know it’s not a super popular opinion but I’d try giving Timo his own line. He’s clearly best when he’s “the guy” on his line. Could reunite Jack and Haula and keep Bratt with them. Keep Tatar-Hischier-Mercer. And then go Palat-Meier-Noesen. Maybe you could argue Timo should play with higher skill players but that’s a pretty legit, heavy 3rd line that’d make this team pretty tough to play against from a matchup perspective.
