Description

The first line with bunting, matthews and marner. I feel that bunting can be a pretty good fill in for hyman. I heard he was a pest , annoying to play against and also drives the net hard.

The second line with Ritchie, Tavares and Nylander. I feel that Ritchie can be a physical aspect to make the hit and retrieve the puck for nylander or Tavares.

The third line will be our shutdown line, they will prioritize defense first and are fast to carry the puck in transition.

The fourth line is also pretty solid, kase has pretty good skill and is a fast skilled forward, Wayne to be physical and kind of protect kase a bit because of his injuries and spezza is spezza.

Pierre will be on the taxi squad and if they call him up he has to go through waivers and is likely taken, but tbh I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that because we have Robertson who I think needs to get a shot this year at least 20 games, also have brooks and when he played he played great. We also have Gabriel who I'm sure most of you guys knowwhat he does.
