Not a fan of Ryan Reaves leaving us with little flexibility. I'd send him down, absolutley no one will claim him on waivers because he is on a pretty bad contract.

We need flexibility on defense and Caleb Jones gives us that. He was pretty strong for Chicago last season despite them being pretty bad and I think he will thrive with Carolina. I was extremely disappointed when the Leafs didn't sign him. I don't think a fourth-round pick is enough however I just chucked it in to make something work.

I'm not really a fan of Nylander on the third line because it pushes someone into the top six who probably shouldn't be there. Marner should probably be with Tavares but Knies is most likely the quality winger that Tavares and Nylander have needed for about four seasons.

A Domi, Robertson, Jarnkrok line I like quite a lot. Two players with good shots being paired with someone who is a genuinely good playmaker I feel could be a great third line.

The fourth line will ideally be a defensively solid minutes chewer that just about outscores what it concedes. It mainly includes players who will most likely be on the PK at times.

Not 100% sure about the defensive pairings. The one thing I know is that Gio as much as I live him is not an 82-game player anymore and Klingberg should probably receive sheltered minutes as he is not the player he once was.

Goalies are the goalies, two solid options.
