New Lines

I like the idea of keeping Z in San Diego, rushing him would be a massive mistake and risk we can’t afford to take imo. I like the thought of

Milano-Henrique-Terry
Rakell-Getzlaf-Heinen
Comtois-Steel-Silf
Jones-Backes/Lundestrom-ND/Rowney

Play lines 2-3 the same amount per game

I actually like that. I’ll switch it to that

That way there’s less pressure on Steel out of the gate, if he can take that step forward play his line more often, keep him and the Getz line as equal until Steel shows he can handle top 6 minutes/responsibilities

Just wanted to add on cause I forgot to mention it

If steel does take that step and can be a 2 C I would also swap Heinen and Silf as well so it would be

Rakell-Steel-Silf
Comtois-Getz-Heinen

That way Terry and Milano get Rico, Steel would then get Raks and Silf and Comtois would have Getz and Heinen.

If Steel can be a 2C those lines would be best for developing those young players imo
