And just for my two cents, I'm on the "keep Neal-Malkin-Iginla" together train. If the plan is to keep 14-87-9 together, I don't see the sense in breaking up 18-71-12 right now when we could let them develop their chemistry. Better to let them do that now and work out any kinks than be worrying about it come playoff time.

This.
Let the Malkin line develop chemistry, let Jeffrey be a stand in for what 9 and 14 have going on, too.
Maybe they've been carrying Sid and can do the same for DJ

So you just plugin DJ for Crosby and hope for the best.
