It really isn't. The bump to the first line is not close to making up for the drop on the 2nd line. Or the 3rd.
For those shifts after a PK or whatever fine, but as a rule, they should be driving their own lines. RNH is so much better as a winger than a C.

I actually really like the strategy of loading up after a PP, or after a tired line ices the puck against us. But to default to it makes the team easier to defend.
I do sometimes wonder if Tippett doesn't have a similar message to McLellan in that the top guys are expected to score and the bottom guys are just expected not to get scored on. We're so persistently pathetic in the bottom six that at some point you have to wonder if it's more of a design flaw in the system than simply always picking the wrong players. Foegele has been relatively invisible outside of a handful of games - and I liked how he looked early. Ryan hasn't done much. Perlini after the hot pre-season has only 3 shots in 8 games. He's not a threat at all. Benson's done little when he's in. Turris and Shore are still sub-par NHLers. But when everyone looks like they forgot where the opposition's net is, I don't wonder if maybe the message is to just make sure they limit the damage against (which is a terrible strategy).
