Description

I actually like the team a lot, would've been nice to get a better 1B goalie but, if klef comes back right before playoffs his cap hit will be tiny and the top 6 Dmen would be:
nurse Bear/Barrie
Klef Bear/Barrie
Russel Larsson

maybe there no true number 1 dman but thats a solid top 6 overall

now if (this is a big if) the third line can get some offence going with Turris and Jesse this team will be better then last years, I'm optimistic. downside is we still have very few draft picks next year, may have to convince some college free agents/ older Europeans to come over in order to fill the farm, maybe we trade some prospects like marody or samorukov for picks during the season.
Thoughts?

(not sure why it show smith is 1.5 mill when he signed for 2 but oh well)

Kassian and Ennis are not top 6 forwards. They can fill in if need be but my guess is JP gets a shot at McDavids wing first. Neal can’t play 5v5 he’s better left on the bench until it’s time for a PP. I don’t mind Kris Russell or Jones getting a few looks at top 4 but they really need to find a top 4 LD. Jones wasn’t too bad this year when Klefbom was out with injuries but you could tell he wasn’t ready for that role and Russell has regressed to a bottom pairing d over the last 3 seasons.

I mean no offense but this team as it's currently constructed won't make the playoffs to see Klef play - even though your in the Pacific - Sharks will be better, LA is better, Anaheim is better. Oil are basically the same but weaker on D.
