yes you are most likely right. Ward and treliving seem to have a fear of trying anything new even though the old is proven not to work.

Petrovic in the minors and Kylington and Nesterov battle for the 6th D spot

Oh yeah he exists

As good as Lucic played in the playoffs this year with Bennett and Dube he still has a much more proven synergy with Ryan. I think it's more likely with the recent signings that one of Leivo or Simon plays with Bennett and Dube and Looch is moved to the 4th line with Ryan. then Nordstrom and Leivo/Simon (whoever didn't get that last 3rd line spot) plays 4RW. We may still see a trade and I would be very surprised if Kylington spend the year in the minors but I think Tre has done a pretty solid job filling in our depth issues. Especially if its a condensed schedule where injuries are much more likely and relevant, or if there is a taxi squad due to the AHL not running or something.

Plain forgot kyle tbh

Funny enough, you might not know this but his name is pronounced Shillington

True, shyle*

I agree with all this. Frankly our bottom 6 could be like a million different combinations. I think the only sure things right now is Bennett/Ryan will be bottom 6 centers and Lucic will be on the left side and Leivo on the right. Dube and Simon could end up on either side; then there is also Nordstrom who is the only good PKer we've signed.
