Ratcliffe wont be ready
if he has another 2 years to work with Marner and Suzuki's skating coach then maybe but 1 year isnt enough
he's gonna be dominant when he gets here though and he's the perfect guy to create room for Suzuki and defend him when needed.
PHI have Mathew Strome in the system filling that role but no Forward back checker with Lehkonen's level of defensive ability so it makes sense to give them a solid winger to cover Patrick so he can jump up in the play more .
i'd keep Armia as his size on 4th line will be key if you're running Byron and Evans there
if we're going on a Playoff run we'll need it .
Kulak like Reilly will have a less succesful 2nd year .(most forget but Reilly scored 7 points in his first 9 games here playing 20+ minutes straight out the gate but couldnt repeat the success the next year)
Chariot is a reliable back up for when Kulak struggles
Petry and Tatar make sense to move now for added value giving teams 2 playoff run attempts with them
all in all i like this post as most of it makes a lot of sense and seems like how it will go down .
i think Romanov coming takes away the need for Kulak as Romanov is a mobile D that plays with a grit edge .
Chariot is a physical shot blocking /hitting D who would give Brook the room to jump up in the play freely providing the same balance Juulsen would to Romanov .
but i like all the pieces in play and the fact you waited on bring Primeau up and are developing him fully as a Starter
