I think that is a pretty ideal 4th line. Richardson and Clifford are not top 6 players on competing teams.
Smyth-Kopi Williams
Sturm-Stoll*-Brown
Poni**-Zus-Simmonds
Lewis-Richie-Clifford
* Stoll has done a decent job but there is room for improvement there. If we upgrade there that could potentially make our 4th line Richie-Stoll/Zus-Clifford
** Poni is the really glaring weak link IMO. Zus and Simmonds can carry a scorer there. another Sturm-like LW and I think our forwards are solid. Even if we added a scoring RW Brown could move over.
I do think this needs to be addressed, and I don't think we can afford to wait for the deadline.
