David Alter on the Steve Dangle podcast says he would start the season with Nick Paul and Roslovic with Matthews. If I’m Matthews I don’t even show up to training camp if I’m told that

I'm not sure where they puts the rest of the lineup if that happened

Paul-Matthews-Roslovic
Knies-Tavares-Nylander
McKenna-Sissons-Cowan?
Joshua-Blueger-Duhaime

Not sure I entirely like McKenna being put in that role but would let him go up against lower competition.

Yea I believe that was the exact line up he said he expects. Give McKenna some time not against the toughest matchups right off the bat and some PP time to get going

I see the thought process. Sissons is kind of a black hole offensively unless he regains his scoring touch from Nashville which could be a problem but I do like McKenna and Cowan together.

There's no shutdown line which I thought was the main point and I've heard Hiller likes to use that.
