I'll echo what Jon said, there's a reason you generally don't see three guys that are on the smaller side playing together on the same line.

It's not a question of them not being able to play at the NHL level, it's the fact that is becomes very one-dimensional and very easy to get phsyically owned if you pair them all together.

Even with Lindberg being the biggest of the three, you're talking about a line that average about 6'0, 185-190 pounds. That's pretty small.

Needless to say, I don't think putting them all together would be the way to go.

Spread it out a little.
