LET'S TALK SOME PENS


this is definitely a contender imo. deep in every role. two good goalies that can be n1 if the other isn't playing well.

also still kept 14OA that could potentially be a very impactful player the season after this one.

top 9 is very very good:

1st line: we saw what they can do together...
2nd line: Keller is probably the best linemate geno had since forever. this duo could be UNREAL. added kerfoot as dubas love him and can give a lot of speed and defence to the line.
3rd line: could be second line in half of the league... and if rusty has a bounce back year... watch out.

4th line: inexperienced but very fast 4th line (Carter could be added as RW to give some experience). I preferred to go with speed and also a younger and more feisty player like Gruden.

pair 1: graves will play the role of a younger and tougher dumo. perfect fit with Letang.
pair 2: Pettersson and dumba (who has a 1 year prove it deal) are a great two-way pair, defensively sound and can chip offensively.
pair 3: poj is improving since joining the league and I believe he will take another step on the defensive side of his game. metrics wise he loves playing with ruhwedel rather than rutta.

PP: power play is much improved with Keller playing the left side. guentzel and rakell will battle for the net front spot.
also PP2 is much improved with erod

PK: very sound pk1
pk2 the spot is between erod and Gruden (also oconnor can kill if necessary)

preferred not to play Letang on the pk to put his minutes a bit down but he can obviously do it all.

taxi squad is the starting lineup for wbs. any player could come up at any point.
