I don’t think Fantilli makes the roster unless he has an OTHERWORLDLY rookie season, but it’s possible. As far as Suzuki goes, I think there’s plenty of better and younger two-way options than him like a Robert Thomas or Dylan Cozens.

The defence is pretty atrocious. Nurse doesn’t even whiff the roster, let alone make it. Where’s Shea Theodore and Josh Morrisey? Ekblad and Chabot could make it, but both have regressed so much in recent years. They both need to have big bounce-backs this season to be in serious contention. Pelech makes this team, he provides the only real shutdown role on the team outside of the Makar-Toews pairing. This is what the team will PROBABLY LOOK LIKE:

Huberdeau-McDavid-Marner
Stamkos-Point-MacKinnon
PLD-Crosby-Bedard
Verhaege-Thomas-Cozens

Extras: Barzal, Marchand

Toews-Makar
Byram-Morrisey
Pelech-Dobson
Power-Theodore

Hart
Thompson
Levi

Yes, the Byram pick is bold, but if you’ve watched him play, you’ll understand that he deserves to be here. He’s like a young Drew Doughty except less physical and MUCH faster. Also think Levi can challenge Hart for the crease depending on how good he is this year.
