Duchene has been moved to wing in NSH - Granlund might be a better choice there.
Myers is definite tier or two below Carrier and Fabbro. Swapping in Granlund and Carrier saves you a few million too, if you wanted the cap space to upgrade the roster elsewhere.

2 teams that for some reason keep getting outdoor games
I mean they've each been named host once and the visiting team once. Is that really so excessive? It's not like either of them are Chicago, Philly or Pittsburgh.

My team has had 2, one in 2003 the first one ever, and in 2016. where has your team has had 2 in the past 3 years. I guess it isn't as bad as the lake Tahoe games last year where other then Vegas all the teams in in already had a outdoor game very very recently

It does seem a little odd that EDM hasn't been involved in them more, despite not having been a very good team for the past 15 years or so, what with having a marquee name like McDavid on their roster. While part of me thinks the Heritage Classic should be an annual event, I wonder if interest would wane after awhile because the small pool of Canadian teams would lead to repetitive matchups. It doesn't help that at least half of the Canadian teams are terrible more often than not. Edmonton is definitely due to host another sometime soon.
What really surprised me when looking into this is that Montreal has never hosted an outdoor game (they've been the visiting team in all four of theirs). That seems bizarre for an iconic O6 team.
