Salary Cap Mode: Basic

There are multiple scenarios for Carolina's top scoring line this year. In all of them, Aho is the center, of course. But I think that there are a number of interesting options for who to put on his wing.

Option 1: The easy choice is to put him back with Turbo and Nino.
Option 2: Keep Nino but bump Turbo to second scoring line in order to create matchup problems for other teams and scoring depth in the top 6. Moving Turbo (as opposed to Nino) makes the most sense because he's a playmaker. In this scenario, Svech makes the most sense given the way he played to end the season and in playoffs.
Option 3: If not Svech, Dzingel could be another option to move up with Aho. Dzingel is a goal scorer, although is more of a defensively weak winger.
Option 4: A dark horse candidate here would be Necas, who plays with speed and would best be served on a scoring line. (not the 4th line).
Option 5: Justin Williams re-signs and goes back to the top.

So top line could likely feature Aho with two of: Turbo, Nino, Svech, Dzingel, Necas, Williams.

I actually think it will be Nino-Aho-Svech, but these are all intriguing.
One note: If Williams re-signs, Necas returns to Charlotte. Don't love Necas with Staal, but not sure where else to put him - and don't want him on the 4th line.
