There's 1:30 left in the third. It's a one goal game.
Do you shuffle your lines, or do you go with whoever is next? If there is a power play (for you if you are losing, against you if you are winning), does it change your answer?
Lately, I've been going the shuffle route. Is that unfair to the guys who aren't as good, but are paying just as much? Is one shift that big a deal?

For me, it would depend on the team and if they were cool with it. In the regular season I would rather go with who was next and give everyone a fair shot, but if it was a must-win situation for the team (e.g. playoffs), I'd consider putting out the best players.
It's a team game. Those who suck should know what to do: slide down and let the better skater go out.
