Are we contenders next year

Definitely, but I think Washington will look to continue adding to their blueline somehow, and where is Brett Leason and perhaps even Connor McMichael? I believe both guys are NHL-ready.

It looks like the 2018 team. Just add a Burakovsky and a Niskanen.

I think this is a good lineup, Honka for LuJo makes sense for both teams since neither have risen in depth charts for their respective teams, and we need RHD. That third line also looks pretty good. Saw another comment say something about Leason and McMichael, I think both will likely play in Hershey but McMichael could very well be an extra forward. But, he'd have to play wing rather than center and idk if they want to do that just yet until Eller or Dowd leaves/moves so he can work his way up from a bottom 6 center to a top 6 center.

I like this lineup. One change I would make personally is flipping Panik and Hagelin. Panik Dowd and Hathaway looked like a very good 4th before the whole pandemic thing happened last season.

McMichael is NHL ready, I don't think Leason is though. Played a limited role with Hershey last season, he needs to develop further in the AHL and improve his consistency. Maybe by 21-22 though.
