Description

Mittlestadt line is essentially 2a, used in offensive zone situations... Berglund line 2b, used for defensive zone faceoffs. Thompson auditions in the top 6, if he needs seasoning he goes down to Rochester and Okposo/Pommers shift up a line and a guy like Baptiste takes the 4th line. Use the 1sts to make a deal at the deadline for another winger if the right opportunity presents itself. Constant competition on line 4 with Rochester prospects.

I think it may be too soon to pencil Tage into the line-up, but I am happy to see you have that confidence in him. He is extremely large and is only 20. It may take time for him to develop, but I can certainly see him taking up space in front of the net as Reinhart does.
I think sending Larsson and Beaulieu to Ottawa may not need a 3rd for them to take them. They need depth at center and defense. I like your landing zone for them. Good job.
Good post, good team. Five stars.
