Before you get up in arms over Eklund being at C, the plan for him since day one was always to be a center. He played 3C for Djurgardens all last year. One year on Logans wing and maybe he is ready to swap with LC.

Maybe Pavelski will want to come back, we know he loves SJ and also Tom Holy who is now Assistant GM to Mike Grier. He is still close with Logan, Hertl and Timo as well. I put him on the 2nd line for this season and perhaps can slot down and switch with Coe or Gushchin in the next season. I'll bet he'll still be good for 20+ goals next year.

Labanc packaged with Kniazev who is a solid puckmoving D prospect. Labanc might have a bounceback year and might be worth keeping but he also might use a change of scenery. He is very skilled, just needs the right chance with the right guys.

Gushchin is our most offensively talented prospect outside of Bordeleau and Eklund but Gush is the most pure sniper in the depth chart. He plays defense, backchecks, works hard, plays tenacious, all the things that Quinn and Grier preach he does in spades. Getting a chance to flourish with Hertl and Meier would be fun to watch.

Coe might even make the team this year, he is our most unheralded prospect. He's big, skates well, strong shot, solid 2-way game and has leadership qualities.
