Pearson - Miller - Boeser

Hoglander - Joshua - Lazar
Dickinson
Pearson or Hoglander are the odd ones out. Pearson makes more sense to move but there may not be a market for him and he had a pretty good year last year. Hoglander is younger and cheaper but he didn't get the same chance to get his footing under Boudreau. He's the exception as he was actually better under Green who utilized him a lot. I would rather run with Miller - Pettersson - Horvat as centers than use Dickinson at 3C by a long shot. With those three centers, the wingers are very interchangeable based on chemistry, matchups, hot streaks, etc. Only problem is one of them will be on the 4th line, either Hoglander or Pearson for me.
Dickinson is who I have scratched up front and I would pay for him to not play for the Canucks again based on last year.
Pearson in a trade could hopefully get us a temporary RHD that is similar in age and cap hit, but I kind of doubt that. In this market I doubt we could move him in any sort of cap clearing move, so that's tough. Hoglander can definitely be moved but the value might be underwhelming. If it's for a young RHD or C then it's something to look into.
I don't see a spot for Rathbone unless he is significantly better than Dermott at camp.
