Quoting: Waffelz
This certainly seems a bit optimistic, but at least realistic-ish. Your D-pairing lines are a little strange, and there is no guarantee that goaltending is going to improve. I also don't think Sorenson is a 3rd line player right now, either move him down or find a team that will take him. Not sure this team makes the playoffs, but it probably isn't dead last.
The D pairings are based on player chemistry
Ferraro and Karlsson started to gel last season
Simek and Burns work well together
Vlassic and Heed on the 3rd Pair seems like a good fit And MEV was a bad paring with Karlsson.
Like I said I’m hopping on the goaltending and the added rest and time off working with a better coach in Nabokov helping a it was in-season
Sorenson Thornton Labanc were a really solid line last year(18/19) and due to lack of depth Labanc was pushed up to first line duties and faltered this year, then he was playing better once that like was put back together later in the year, Sorenson is a decent 3lw line guy and if he can get back to last years stats (17 goals 30 points with a grit to his game) this looks like a Solid 3rd line pairing. And if sorenson falters we can move Marleau or kellman up to the third line.
If the guys (Karlsson Hertl couture) stay healthy and the goaltending is even slightly below average the team should qualify for the playoffs.
I like this team more than last years team but with all the big contracts our hands are tied from
Doing much more
