I really haven't a clue how to find those stats. Richards never changed the lines so I suppose you could assume when all 3 of Koivu, Bruno, and Mittens were healthy, they were playing on the same line together.
With Yeo though the lines are usually changing multiple times every game so I really couldn't tell you they're stats when playing together since they usually aren't playing together every single game or even throughout an entire game.
The biggest trouble for me is: Picking HBJ means that Koivu's on IR I assume, but picking Bruno-Koivu-Mittens still means Brodziak is playing on the third line (most likely)
Bruno-Koivu-Mittens easily. That line's worth about 65-70 goals and can cycle the puck and apply pressure much better. Heatley-Brodziak-Johnson is maybe 55-60 and is one and done.
If we're talking about the Bruno/Mittens/Koivu line in October, then there's your winner. I seem to remember they used to tear it up in the first few weeks of the season.
Any other month and I'd go with the Heater/Brodz/Johnson line.
Never again should Mittens be a top-line player.....really surprised that my vote pushed this poll to a tie.
Well arguably at this stage of his career, Heatley isn't a top liner. Brodziak and Johnson are third liners. Koivu's probably the only top liner out of the bunch.

Heatley > Bruno (maybe not by a whole lot, but still better)
Johnson > Mittens (plus a lot more upside)
and since we have both Brodziak and Koivu, I basically see those as a wash, since we can (the coach) decide who gets first line who doesn't
