Our top 6 is more than just fine. Our top six is awesome. Depth, though, is key in playoffs.
Lawson-McBain-Tanev on the same line is going to brutalize opposing lines.
Schmaltz has averaged 60pts in the last four years. I think he stays in the top 6 this year, but he is likely gone at the trade deadline or end of season. We just have to have room for Beaudoin and Iginla. With deserving a raise, and with our internal replacement options, he will likely go somewhere else.
