Forward lines are a mess. Strome and Cat are not 1st line material and Strome Cat and Kane are a terrible combo and defensive nightmare for the Hawks...they were split up for good reason.
Here's the stats on that line;
1.59 goals for per game
2.76 goals against per game
Kap would be a perfect fit with Strome and Cat and that line would look good on the 2nd or 3rd line.
I agree on trading Saad at the TDL if the Hawks are out, but if not obviously the Kubalik - Toews - Saad line was the best last season.
No way is Carlsson ready for 2nd line duties...he's a 3rd line/7th man as of now, not sure he becomes much more. Beaudin may become that 2nd line guy but he'll need another year or two to develop before he's ready for 2nd line minutes. I'd keep de haan and either trade or buyout maatta. If we trade murphy, Seabs better be renewed and able to play 3rd line minutes or we are SOL defensively.
