With any luck Carter and Zucker stay healthy while Geno is out and form some chemistry that can remain together for the rest of the reason in a scoring threat 3rd line. Keep Malkin with Kapanen and try every option possible on left wing (I'd say including Jake). I think there's good cases to be made for McGinn, Heinen and Rodriquez to all step into that role depending on whoever performs best. Run Blueger with ZAR and the 4th line shakes itself out.

I think people are a little bit too dramatic about all the necessary changes needed to the roster. If you aren't improving upon Pettersson or Zucker without giving up massive assets then what's the point? They had bad years, they can bounce back. Jarry had a bad year, he can bounce back. Pettersson will likely have a new everyday partner, could make a big difference.

Part of the problem with this fanbase is that it thinks the end of the world over a few bad games. I mean honestly, that’s why everyone wants to trade Jarry. He had a couple bad games while dealing with a rib injury in his first year as starter. Tbh Pettersson and Marino honestly looked way better when they got paired together again. I think if they are paired together next season, it will make it much easier to trade Pettersson next offseason when POJ should be totally ready for a top 4 role. I’m not going to be too pessimistic until after preseason/start of the season to see if Hallander/Poulin/or Legare can make an impact and if Angello/Lafferty can finally make that next leap. My biggest concern (and only concern) is the 3rd RD spot.
I think McGinn and Heinen can/will battle it out for a top 6 role. Which it wouldn’t be bad for McGinn to be on Crosby’s line and maybe move Jake down to Malkin’s line.
