I believe during my first year, I used Cycling / Left Wing Lock for almost all the games and Larkin was on the second line mostly. He has been the first line center all year using the below two strategies the most.
I determine who to dress each game, which strategy and then I let the AI select the lines (occasionally I will adjust the players role.
I also believe this year Zetterberg has been in a "playmaker role" on Larkin's line. Hope that helps.
