Gostisbehere was decent but did nothing in the post season kind of shocked we resigned him so defensive pairings are below. Walker is solid as a line two guy .
Offense :
Line 1
??? / Aho/ Jarvis
Line 2
???? / KK / Svech
Line 3:
Martinook / Staal / Fast
Line 4:
Carrier or Jost or Lemieux / Kuznetsov / ???
Defense:
Line 1 – Slavin / Burns
Line 2- Orlov / Walker
Line 3- Gostisbehere / Chatfield
Goalies-
Anderson
PK
Martin
Canes also brought in Robinson of the Blues (grinder) , Jost of the Sabres, W. Carrier of the Knights, Martinook resigns along with Slavin.
Chatfield is not playing on the second line sorry bud not happening he is best suited for the third line pairing with Ghost . Plus side if Orlov faulters you can slide the GHOST to the second line and Orlov on to the 3rd pairing.
Necas and KK both need to be packaged together to improve this forward group . Still need two top LW's unsure how they are going to fill that void .
Jeff Skinner reunion ?? It could happen !!! Jack Drury to be returned ? Jarvis extended ??? Only time will tell . Necas & KK though both need to go . Could you flip flop any of the bottom six wingers we signed I just left them at there natural postion LW for now . I think we ride out the goalies we have an wait until next offseason to upgrade that spot. Does Kuznetsov have enough in the tank to play on the third line and Staal back to the second line where he played in the post season because KK was so bad. Only time will tell what the plan is.
Top two LW positions are now the priority of this franchise period and it most likely will have to be done via the trade market.
Who cares
