I think McQuaid, much as we love him, won't bring any more than a 4th.
The biggest problem I think is that the B's aren't likely to put 3 young players like that on the 3rd line without an established defensive presence. I also believe that even though its probably where he belongs, they'll be reluctant to put a 6m salary on the 4th line. I love who Backes is and what he brings, but man do I hate that contract...
As for the D - Grzelcyk is a left D so he doesn't really fit in Miller's spot. Miller can play his off side, but Grizz has only played left side in the NHL. I have no idea what they'll actually do, but I could envision Moore on the second pairing with Carlo as a shutdown pair and them dropping Krug to the third pair, giving him favorable zone starts and doubling him up on the powerplay to get his minutes in. I'm honestly not sure what they do with Grizz after the Moore acquisition because I think he belongs in the lineup, but there may be no good spot for him.
