Very deep forward core, but it's a bunch of 2nd and 3rd liners really. Top 2 line are good 2nd lines, 3rd line is a borderline 2nd/3rd line (depending on KK's play), and the 4th line is basically a 3rd line. The team still lacks star talent on forward, but they do have a lot of weapons on offense despite that. I'll be curious as to how that pans out for them next season.

Indeed, MTL is like x2 second lines and x2 third line

I don't like not having a reliable offensive line to get a needed late game goal. It will be whoever plays the best depending on the night (like it always been in recent memories)

I wouldnt bet on playoffs too because the D core is still a mystery
