Byram has underperformed but could take off for the sabers. Might be reminiscent of the Toews trade. Mittelstadt might really flourish in Colorado. Val, Mitt, and Drouin is a very good second line

Here is how I see it, Stats:
Drouin. McKinnon Rantanen
Lehkonen Mittlestadt Nichushkin
Wood Colton O'Connor
Parise Trenin Duhaime
Cogliano, Kivantra, Wagner etc. are also options. I like Cogs a lot and hate to see him get the healthy scratch. If Kovalenko shows up that's another bottom six scoring option.
Makar Toews
Girard Manson
Johnson Walker
That's three D lines that can push the puck at an elite level..3 or 4 guys can fill in for Johnson who definitely is not elite..
The first line is unstoppable.
The second line has a great mixture of checking, in front of the net, skill, scoring touch.
The third line, playing another third line is going to be trouble.
And that 4th line is now savage, experienced, tough as hell and has tremendous skill for a 4th line.
Swap Lehkonen and Drouin if you want to be more dominant and that's fine. I just think the first line is arguably the best in hockey regardless. And I like the idea of having the best two checking forwards on the line with Mittlestadt. Those bottom two lines are pesky, skilled and tough.
The penalty kill got better.
Goalies? With all that talent in front of them, no excuses.
This is going to be fun.
