Description

Once fully healthy, there's honestly no reason to make any other additions. Each line is great for the role they'll be assigned and the defense is perfect as it stands right now.

Only area that could maybe warrant an upgrade is the backup goalie.

I would swap Zucker and Jake, or Rust and ERod. I think giving Sid and Geno 1 of the 2 best wingers on the team would be fair. I do like the idea of Jake Malkin Rust though. They destroyed the league a few years ago.

I think the team is pretty good now, but I wouldn't be opposed to some change. I think a more physical player like Brendan Gallagher or JT Miller would help them in the playoffs.
