Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Kase + Steel are starting on the IR put Jones and Lundestrom will be up to start the year but I think they're better served to get top line AHL minutes over 4th line NHL minutes once they come back so I put them on the IR to see the lines when healthy.

Getz with Terry and Comtois and Steel with Rakell and Silf will function as a 1a/1b imo which line is treated as the true 1 will be a game to game deal and be match-up dependent.

Ritchie-Rico-Kase played well when together last season and give the Ducks 3 lines that can put the puck in the net. If needed Kase can move up to Getzlaf's line and move a young guy down to spread them out a bit.

4th line will be a 4 man rotation, not much to be said.

I'm curious the see what happens with Lundestrom, the Swede line has looked good in the preseason (Rakell-Lundestrom-Silf) but I feel like that centre spot is Steels when he comes back. and with Jones I can't see him cracking the top 9 when everyone is healthy so SD is the place for him this year

Lindholm-Manson a reliable #1 pair, I hope Eakins can help Lindholm unlock more of an offensive game, and I hope he sees PP time and can hopefully crack 40 points

Guhle-Fowler I feel like this is the best 2nd pair we can put together atm. If possible I'd love to see us add a top 4 RD but I dont see it happening during the season

Larsson - MDZ/Holzer pretty ugly third pairing I wouldn't be opposed to sending Larsson down to avoid playing him in this train wreck of a pairing.

Gibson/Miller - I hope we can give Gibson more support this year, if we can there is no doubt in my mind he'll be in the Vezina conversation. Miller reliable back up can come in and give Gibson needed days off and still gives us a chance to win
