Like the write-up! I think it’s a good summary and prediction. The blue line will be the Achilles heal for this team, but I think adding Mikheyev and Lazar should help on the PK and improve 5v5 team defence. If Rathbone can successfully make the jump and be relied on then they’ve really got something.
For lines I like Miller-Petey-Horvat down the middle for sure (until Miller is traded of course).
I’d like to see Miller’s line be an ‘all-purpose’ unit that takes draws all over the ice:
Pod - Miller - Boeser (good energy and scoring threat)
Peter’s line should get a ton of O-zone starts:
Kuz - Petey - Hogs (high skill, creative, good shots, hopefully develop good chemistry)
Horvat’s line should be the matchup unit taking a lot of the D-zone starts:
Mikheyev - Horvat - Garland (solid defending/possession/face-offs with scoring opportunities)
You can flip some of these wingers around a bit (and throw in Pearson if someone stumbles) but the centers’ roles should look something like that IMO.
