Ottawa's 4th Line Problem

Last year Ottawa's top-six forward group ended up being the strongest part of the team, even if Mike Hoffman was strangely demoted to the fourth line for much of the latter part of the season. The group of Clarke MacArthur, Kyle Turris, Mark Stone, Mike Hoffman, Mika Zibanejad, and Bobby Ryan looks to be a formidable group once again in 2015-16, and it's the one area that we shouldn't be worried about.

I think we can all agree that the top lines will (or at least should) look like this:

MacArthur-Turris-Stone

Hoffman-Zibanejad-Ryan

After those lines though, things get a little tricky.
