Most parts are there. I don't think Patrick goes to wing, and a third line of mainly offensive players asks for problems. I'd put Patrick at 2C and Couts at 3C, one of fillipula/lehtera will probably be 2nd line. Lindblom has a good chance although don't see him on 1st and 2nd line.

Also, I don't see that almost 4mil not getting used. Maybe a veteran stay at home dman?

Pretty good though

You left out Lindblom who was voted the best forward in swedish hockey last year

Voracek-Giroux-Patrick
Konecny-Couturier-Simmonds
Filppula-Lehtera-Read
Weal-Raffl-Weise

Provorov-Gostisbehere
Sanheim-Gudas
Manning-MacDonald

Neuvirth

Stolarz won't be part of the tandem, not with coming off leg surgery and being inconsistent in the AHL. My bet is we sign Elliott. Lyubimov will go back to the KHL rather than sit in the press box most of the season. Everyone in the organization says Hagg will be in the NHL this year, and I'm hoping two more prospects (Morin, Sanheim, or Myers) make it on defense so we can bury MacDonald. Patrick will stay at center, and Lindblom will probably make it too. One last note, your special teams are all screwed up.

Anthony Stolarz : 2.60 and 2.92 GAA the last two years in the AHL and .916 and .911 SV% the last two years in the AHL. He is anything but inconsistent. Not sure where you even came to that conclusion.

The last time a team had success starting 3 rookie defensemen was never. We need to carry MacDonald because we cannot have a rookie pair. it will lead to disaster.

Your lines are not close to what they are expected to be. You didn't bring Lindbolm over, who will more likely than not, be on the roster for next season. Raffl doesn't play center and isn't that good of a forward in general.

These might be some of the worst combinations I've ever seen.

Weal - Giroux - Voracek
TK - Patrick - Simmonds
Lindbolm - Couturier - Filppula
Laughton - Lethera - Read

Provorov - MacDonald
Hagg - Gudas
Ghost - Morin

FA Goalie

the $4M probably doesn't get used when we have bonuses overages from this past season and with Patrick on the roster we could owe 2-3M more in bonuses at the end of the year so having $4M in space is essentially only having $1M available.. Come on dude.


Patrick isn't a winger.. What the hell kind of lines are these?
