Why do you think that Cole Koepke cracks the lineup over Alex Barre-Boulet?
When fully healthy does Palat leaving indicate that Cirelli finally makes the top 6 permanently? Now that you have Nick Paul long term he can hold down the pivot spot on the 3rd line. Having Cirelli, Stamkos, Point is a big luxury in the top 6; add Kucherov, Killorn, and Hagel and that is still a dangerous top 2 lines; with Paul, Colton and Namestnikov on the 3rd and then Maroon-Bellemare-Perry (at least for 1 more year if healthy) and this is still a top 5 Eastern squad.
