I expect Bedard to play down the middle (probably 2C) with Beck or Bolduc moving to Wing.

Isn't Stankoven mostly a winger?

Fantilli-Wright-Guenther
Othmann-Bedard-Beck
Roy-Stankoven-Kidney
Ostapchuk-Bolduc-Gaucher

something like this?
the only problem i have is that it shifts stankoven to the third, and we know he's good enough to be on the second over beck... and you can't exactly shift him to wing if he's one of, if not the best, faceoff guy. sorta same with beck (shifting to wing) since he's a good two-way guy but it's easier to move him to wing than stankoven

Schaefer will likely get some 4th line time, Big grinding power forward, wicked shot too

Yeah, he mostly plays RW for Kamloops. Could see him getting a shot at C for Team Canada though.

The coaching staff should try both as 3C and see who's best suited for the role imo. Stankoven does mainly play RW in the WHL, so it doesn't seem unlikely he gets the 2RW spot.

i think Othmann plays with Wright and Bedard, brings another element and that trio absolutely tore up the U18 tournament in Dallas

Othmann -- Bedard -- Guenther
Fantilli -- Wright -- Stankoven
Kidney -- Beck -- Dumais
Bolduc -- Schaefer -- Roy
Ostapchuk
