Domi continues to try to make every pass a highlight reel play. He’s trying poop where there’s nothing there. Berube needs to get him to simplify his game or sit him at some point. Can’t afford to make 3rd line scary in a bad way. - Canada Cup

McMann always seems to disappear down the lineup. I’d prefer him with JT and Willie, and Holmberg with Domi and Nick. - fifty__missions
91 and 88 aren't really great defensively (91 winning draws gives him the edge over Willy), so adding McMann or Domi in there doesn't help.
Holmberg is an offensive blackhole but he's a very solid two-way smart player, doesn't take penalties and is fearless for a little guy; I like him in on their line for that reason.
I don't mind different looks though: McMann could take a few shifts with them if we're down, even Domi if he's playing well, but to me, keeping all of my liabilities on one line I can shelter when I can line match makes sense to me.
And like the 4th line is really the 3rd line if that amount of ice-time keeps up, which I'm fine with, because that line can hockey at both ends of the rink.

How can he be a solid two-way smart player if he is an offensive blackhole?
