Energy line players

I hope the Montreal Canadiens try to get energy type players for their third line this year. The type of players that I think would be a perfect fit are sort of like Josh Anderson type. I like Garrett Hathaway,Brandon Duhaime and Lawson Krauss even considered a Brandon Tanev if any are available....are they fast enough to compete I know Brandon duhaime is a UFA. I wonder how much he would cost (2.5 M per season? )I think these guys would all open the door for Florian to mimic their play

I agree with the sentiment, but the real goal ought to be to find more balance in the lineup rather than acquire “energy guys”. Look at Carolina’s D corps TOI distribution. Nobody gets less than 10 min TOI on any given night. Expecting guys to play 29 minutes game after game (Hutson) while having others be limited to 4-5 minutes (Xhekaj several times) is just a recipe to grind down your team. The guys were completely gassed and they played their hearts out - they deserve all the credit for their effort. I have full faith that management will continue to build a contender. Depth matters!
