Hire a more defensive minded coach. You know with the core guys there will never be a shortage of offence. And that’s not saying all these defensive forwards won’t chip in.

I’m excited to see a line of Domi - Matthews - Marner because we’ve seen all the different combos and they are all good together.
I’d like to see how a line of Knies - Tavares- Nylander because maybe there is still done magic after the series winner. The top two lines are going to be heavily relied on to score goals.
The third line would be a fun line, all good defensively, have a great scoring touch and will grind out for every minute they are on the ice.
When this 4th lind is on the ice nobody is scoring and reminds me of that Lafferty - Kampf - ZAR line last year. They worked their ass off and I still remember it was Game 2 and they scored the goal to go up 6-3 and they were so excited.
Rielly needs a partner so badly because he hasn’t really found a consistently good partner and I think Roy is perfect. It allows Rielly to jump in the rush like he wants to do.
Nothing to complain about with Benny - Caber they are perfect and I love them.
This is the ideal 3rd pair because you got a stat at home defensman that will not put up with **** and a young offensive D that shows flashes of maturity defensively. And Edmunson can teach him how to defend in this league.
On the powerplay, sure we lose Bertuzzi but we know we can get it done with these guys. Put Knies in Berts spot on that top line and play Liljegren on PP1 to start the season. On PP2 we have a bit of everything Rielly guarding the point (which he has gotten a lot worse at as of late), Jarnkrok will do anything, Domi got the passing, McMann got the shot and Tavares is net front.
As for the Penalty Kill, try to spark some chemistry with Laughton and O’Connor because they are both very good at their jobs.
Bring back Kampf and Marner they were unstoppable last year and we need that again.
And if any of those PK’s are playing ****ty then you have Dewar and Nylander or Matthews and Holmberg.
In net we got Joey Woll who needs to step up big because this will be his first year as the opening night starter and Laurent Broissoit.
We need to sign Webber and Grebenkin and as for Moldenhauer whatever but the I’m excited for the others.
I would’ve like to pick Boris off of waivers but if Ottawa doesn’t restrict him we need him. Stretcher would be an ideal 7th D man because I think he could also play with Rielly
