Curious to know why you chose Vanek over the likes of Gaudette, while Gagner and Granlund then have to sit (which doesn't make much sense). This is somewhat realistic though

Gaudette has had a similar year to Anders Bjork did at Boston, who also needed time in the AHL. There is no doubt Guadette can make the line-up all year.

I think Vanek is just a really good player, and he also played real good with Boesser.

I personally think a good trade can be made for Baertschi or Granlund and one of the defenders for a top 4 D.

Lastly with Horvat, Sutter, Tanev, Edler, Sven and Loui often susceptible to injury, Gagner and Granlund will easily fill in up and down the line-up for 55+ games.
