1st and 2nd line plus

I would play Pavelski with Seguin and play Radulov with Benn to spread it all.
XXX-Seguin-Pavelski
Benn-Hintz-Radulov
Janmark-Faksa-Perry
Cogliano-Dickinson-Comeau

With one of Robertson or Gurianov taking 1LW. If none of them win it, move Janmark up there and put Gurianov or Robertson as the 3LW.

Pavelski has lost so many steps. I wouldn't expect him to be on the top 6.
There is a reason SJS let him walk.

Guy puts up 38 goals last season, seems like he has all the steps he needs. Highly doubt they signed him to 7mil for 3 years to play 3rd line minutes

yes, it's because of cap issues

It's not just money.
12 of those goals were on the PP.
His 5v5 stats were ok, don't get me wrong. But he's a year old and getting slower.
You can see the change coming, his GF/GA was even last year on 5v5. That hasn't happened since a rare season in 2009.
if you take out his injury year, his GFoi is the lowest it's been since 2010, in a league where scoring is up.
You give the age, look at some of the advanced stats and start to see the decline is there. He's 35, he's had a good career, but he's not going to be a top line player forever.
I wouldn't count on him being a top 6 player in a league that keeps getting faster. The legs just aren't there anymore.
I'm just being honest, I don't think he can keep up with say Seguin on the ice. He'd slow him down.
