Mack and lecky have some great chemistry so I think they should stay together with drouin at least at the start..
Rantanen will be the guy on line 2 with nuke doing all the hard work and johansen winning the draws, hopefully seeing the opposing teams 2nd best match ups.
Line 3 is a total unknown since they're all new but they have speed grit and Tatar as the shooter I expect them to do very well this year.
Cogliano and LOC are solid 4th liners and the job is between meyers and foudy at 4C but I've put meyers there for now but could change if foudy has a good camp.
I gave marnanlanen the contract because of his nhl experience, PK ability, and the fact colorado has worked all summer to get bigger and tougher which he has over Holland and kirivanta.

Defense is self explanatory, Cale and toews are the best D team in the league.
Byram is the 3rd best dman and I feel like if Manson is healthy he would be a great partner because he's more defensive minded.
Johnson and Girard are basically the Wish version of Byram and Manson so it is likely they also play together.
Malinski is going to take his opportunity and make the most of it waiting to rotate in because of injury or slow play.
Macdermid will probably only draw into the lineup if they play a Minnesota or other rival team with a heavyweight in the lineup early in the season where they don't need the pts as much as later in the season.
Annunen gets the early backup job unless the avs are able to claim Marty Jones off the waiver wire in October.
Georgie is the #1 guy again this year in net
