Running five D would be a new approach, yes

I didn't bother fixing the lines lol, I'm sure theres someone else they could call up

I think Ghost Bear will do alright in the Desert and he gets flipped for assets at the deadline

It pains me to say this, but im pretty sure okposo is seen as a leader on this team, a guy that management is willing to keep around for the remainder of his contract, just to show the young guys how to be hockey players. Plus ghost just isnt a need.

I am not a big fan of forwards playing their off wing but move Olofsson to RW and Gostisbehere to 4th line LW and use him on the PK, essentially playing 3 defensemen on the PK.
Skinner Cozens Olofsson
Asplund Mittelstadt Thompson
Bjork Girgensons Hinostroza
Gostisbehere Eakin Caggiula (LOL or even Pysyk, two defensemen on your fourth line as he has played RW)

first pk unit:

Pysyk, Ghost, Dahlin, Jokiharju
