DECENT, I had Flip moving to the wing with Patrick with Patrick at 2c. G patrick coots Lehtera down the middle

There's no way Couturier is on the 4th line. He'll be 2nd or 3rd with Patrick, and probably lead the forwards in 5v5 ice time, so he'll also get some decent wingers.

defense looks good, Coots is a 2c, but with the arrival of Patrick, he'll play 3c. Like the idea of putting Patrick w/ TK, but we need someone on that line that can bail them out on the backend

Yea I look at this years team as having the G Line then 3 pretty even lines. I think they will use Coutts in an even more defensive role than in the past. I think they liked Filp in an offensive C role with some scoring linemates. Him and Weal worked well together at the end. I think they will shelter Patrick a little for the start. That is the only reason I have him as a 3C. Other than the G line I think you will see Lines 2-4 playing close to the same amount of time 5 on 5. They will just be deployed differently. And yea you might see Rafflel with Patrick and TK just to give a little better D than Weise?
