I like it but my one suggestion would be to move Lindholm to center and than have the top six hall, Johnny, mony, chucky, lindy, and Dube or mang

Shouldn't be hard to move Ryan.

I think that is possible for Hall. I still think he gets something similar to Jeff Skinner's contract ...

RIP Brodie

I would not do that, zero right handed wingers was already a problem this year. Can't have it happen again. IMO Bennett as earned just as much of a top 6 chance as Dube. Maybe more. I also prefer the option of having someone who can take right handed face offs on the first line. Like Giroux, Benn, Marchessault, Schmaltz, Wheeler

In my scenario we also bring in a Coach like Gallant who can re-insert a Rush System into the first line like we had for most of last year

I like the reasoning here; honestly, this would be my ideal scenario. Hall aside, I think this is more or less the kind of off season we can expect unless BT really blows it up.

Was wondering about the call to keep Bennett and trade Ryan? Not criticizing it, just kinda curious. Ryan is a natural centre and seems to have a very big stabilizing influence on the bottom 6.

True but Bennett has proven his ability to be a legitimate middle 6 forward 2 years in a row. I love Doc but if we need the space for a big UFA signing I will move him. He's not suited for a 4th line role and Gawdin is ready to take the next step

He already isn't a guaranteed resign. Wife has MS, he either resigns of flies south
