Defence is real dicey, a big boom or bust.
A lot of young guys/ former rookies - who all have top 4 potential/ ability with a few of them (like Marino) who have top pair potential. Forward group is actually good, the 2nd line is really the first line. Horvat would have to do some heavy lifting to make that first line consistent - they’re probably gonna be a more of a kill time line, battling the other teams top line; but they can score.
Line 3 same thing as the second, a lot of talent as the second line but same as the second line, room for error. Vilardi and Thomas are the centres, one of them being a rookie (which at 2nd line time could spell trouble). And Virtanen is so inconsistent we don’t know what to expect. And the fourth line could be really good, but I could see defence/ grinding out a shift being a problem. Goalies are good.
I’d think they could be a wildcard contender, they’d be fun to watch or a disaster - 50/50 most nights between watching a car crash and fun hockey
