Using Stimson's passing project data and playstyle clustering, Dom Luszczyszyn throws together a lineup optimized by role distribution. Both the article and playstyle link above show the shot metrics for various combinations.
Dom brings up an interesting thought about Babcock's philosophies on line makeup, ice time distribution, and the performance vs health trade-off.
How would you build the Leafs lines for 2017-18? (Trades are coming...)
