Lines

Ruotsalainen got sent away for the year.

First line is probably right.
Skinner-Staal-Cozens will probably be the 2nd line.
The third line is the biggest question right now if I was the coach it would be Thompson- Ruotsalainen-Reinhart.
4th line Girgensons-Eakin/Lazar-Okposo. If Ruotsalainen doesn’t make the team Eakin will be the 3c while lazar will be the 4c.
Defense will probably stay the same from last year unfortunately they aren’t going to cut Risto’s ice time.
Montour-Ristolainen
Dahlin-Miller
McCabe- Jokiharju.
Ullmark
Hutton.

He really should make the team 15 goals in 16 games in the Liga this year. Plus he’s 23 he doesn’t need anymore development.

No he is just loaned.

I can see a lot of this. Cozens and ruotsalainen could make it very interesting, and thompson, mittelstadt, and okposo could find it difficult to get ice time. The most obvious things i see wrong are- thompson is not a center, girgensons is probably on the 4th line, and montour will probably be the rhd that will play his off side. And of course ristolainen will not be on the third pair, im losing track, but we are on gm #4 and coach #5 and every one of them seems hell-bent on playing him 25 minutes in all situations.
