I did something similar the other day.

I was a little more aggressive in the signings... lol

Noteable: I think brannstrom makes the team next year. Batherson is a winger, so you'll need to find another Center (I have Brown), and I think Veronneau starts the year in the minors.

Thanks for the Feedback! I checked out yours and I loved the idea of Balcers with White and Tkachuk. The reason I didn't have Veronneau in the minors is because i wasn't sure if he was able to go down without passing waivers which is a risk. Not sure why I had Batherson at center and would love to see Brown there but want him to take another step this summer. Branstom I think does what Chabot did and he'll start in belleville and work his way up to the main club! However if we move a dman or two I could see him starting.

Good point on Brannstrom. Also, Veronneau has 1 more year in his ELC. So waivers won't affect him.

The big question mark for me is Lajoie. He had a great start to the year but kinda fell off... ANd The LHD depth in Ottawa is ridiculously deep. I wonder if he's the odd man out.

I also really hope Högberg can make the jump to the NHL after a strong year last year.
