Looks pretty good, except Glendening has no business on anything but a 4th line, Frk will not and should not make the roster, and unfortunately E probably cannot be moved. Maybe substitute Ericsson for Marchenko, get a 2nd or 3rd back and save some dough...or just buy E out.

Frk has to make the team or he will likely be lost on waivers.

Yes, which is what will happen...odds of Frk making the team are about as good as winning the lottery.

You aren't understanding that we have 6 waiver eligible players this year where 3 of them will likely be claimed. Those 3 will likely be on the team just so we don't lose them for nothing. like it or not.

my 3rd line is my "grind line." Don't equate it to a scoring line. Usually I have Sheahan with Abdelkader and Helm and Glendening on the bench, but I think he plays over Bertuzzi here. The top 6 are standard top 6 minutes. 3rd line gets more minutes if there's lots of PK (Abdelkader gets extra on the PP). Hopefully they will be under 10 minutes of EV and under 12 over all. The 4th line is a protected line based on zone starts and matchups. So some nights, the 4th line will get 12-15 and others they'll get 10-12.

1st - 18-20
2nd - 14-18
3rd - 8-10
4th - 10-12
