Following what Vegas did in the playoffs I think the Sens should spread out their top 9 a bit.
By placing Joseph on the second you try to continue the chemistry they had.
Kubalik slots into the first line and with Giroux and Stutzle.
Batherson helps out the third line and I wouldnt be surprised if Pinto and/or Greig have good seasons 30-50 points.
Adding Comtois is a cheap low risk and high reward gamble, he adds physicallity and can play up in the lineup if needed.
I think signing Pinto long term at cheap would turn into a steal later on, going shorter on term with Pinto might be cheaper now and give you the ability to sign Tatar.

This defense is very solid. I would say its top 10 atleast.
If Chabot rounds out his game again he's a top 2.
Sanderson should be a top 2 defenseman.
Chychrun has been a top pair defenseman.
Zub is a top Shutdown defenseman in the league.
Brannstrom is strong analytically.
JBD is NHL ready and I bet will have a strong season.
Zub and Chabot dont seem to have much chemistry IMO, I think JBD would match better and having Zub on the 3rd pair gives the Sens a very good shutdown pair and 3 goods pairs.

I'm not the biggest fan Korpisalo but I know he's an improvement over Talbot and combined with a healthy Forseberg, the Sens should have a much more steady crease.
