Pretty confident in the Young C's, they are very well insulated with good wingers:

Suzuki is established top 6 C.

KK needs to take the next step, but playing with Gallagher and Hoffman should really help him offensively. Gallagher us a 5 on 5 beast (which will benefit Hoffman) and Hoffman needs a playmaker which came natural for KK when he was drafted (hasn't played with a sniper yet). KK deserves the chance at the very least, they need to know what they have in him now it's his 4th year.

Poehlung is a dark horse for 3C and I believe he will take it. He played with a modern power forward Teasdale in the AHL and Blandisi who is a skilled AHL guy, so I see Drouin and Anderson bringing good skillets to compliment Poehling.

Evans is a great 4C and I'm also confident in him as a 3C if Poehling isn't ready or there is an injury. Evans is a top PK guy for the habs and can play tough defensive minutes, which will help replace Danault.

I also like the Paquette depth addition.

Wings are solid, Goalie is solid, only place to add is on defense. I'd feel a lot better about this lineup if they added a RD with some offensive upside and a physical edge. Miller is a perfect candidate, if Petry goes down this team is screwed but Miller would really help with there RD depth. Also not too sure about Savard as a top 4 D, and there is no certainty with Wideman.
