what do you think, is the Joshua Blueger Garland line better than the 2011 Hansen Malhotra Torres line?

Malhotra probably a bit better faceoff man and Torres hit like a freight train, although in today's NHL he would probably get penalized every game ...  anecdotally BJG probably better overall

I’d trade our current 3rd line for

 

Torres - Malhotra - Hansen

 

any day and every day, even today. 

Oh no, that's like a Monkey's Paw storyline. You'd make the trade, those three would come creaking out in their modern-day form with wheelchairs and titanium knees, and Monkey's Paw be like, Careful what you wish for ...

bc of Malhotra's faceoff prowess?

Physicality, defensive awareness, scoring ability. That 3rd line was better in all 3 zones than our current one, only area this 3rd line is close is in the o-zone, where they have been excellent lately.

 

This isn't to take anything away from our current 3rd line, they have been great. But that third line back in 10-11 was one of the best ever imo.
