butcher is a top defenseman? but demers is bottom 6? I don't understand the logic

As much as I wouldn't mind this, we don't need Sceviour and Hayden would be in the NHL. Debrincat probably won't make the team. Also, my lines would be much different.

Offense:
Saad-Toews-Panik
Sharp-AA-Kane
Schmaltz-Hayden-Hartman
Bouma-Kero-Wingels

Defense:
Keith-Murphy
Butcher-Demers
Forsling-Kempny

You wouldn't want to flip Hayden and Schmaltz? Nick is a true center even if he is currently undersized.

It's possible, but if we can kind of form Schmaltz into a winger to play with Kane when he's good enough that'd be nice. If Debrincat is better suited playing wing, play Schmaltz at center so the future 2nd line will be Debrincat-Schmaltz-Kane.
