Possible Opening Night Roster?

Team: 2018-19 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 12, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Like the potential in the D pairings, as Murphy can fill the spot with Keith to allow Seabrook to play with Gus, who is statistically our best d man. Also, if Jokiharju starts getting pushed around, Manning can always go break someones collarbone.
(Disclaimer: I am not nor would ever wish an injury upon a player, just expressing how I feel about Manning.)

Forward wise, I think Saad is being looked at as an option for Kane's other winger, and even though I believe he should still play with Toews, I wouldn't put money on him being on that first line. Schmaltz should continue to develop as a good two-way center, and hopefully his face-offs can get significantly better. Debrincat and Sikura flanking Toews isn't the worst thing that could happen, but I'd like to see something along the lines (no pun intended) of:

Saad-Toews-Debrincat
Edjsell-Schmaltz-Kane
Kahun-Kampf-Sikura
Kunitz-Kruger-Hayden

Now, you may be noticing a big (again, no pun intended) name missing from that lineup in Anisimov. Personally, I'd like to see him traded for a d-man, even though I have no clue who at the time. I just don't know if a team that would want him would want the contract, and I'm not sure if Stan wants to retain.

Since I mentioned Stan, here's a fun question:

How much money would it take to pry Yzerman away from his family again?
