i think you did a fine job of setting up the lines as most of us expect going into the year. that final spot in the top 9 seems to be up for grabs, with names from Pitlick, Laughton, Gabriel, Andreoff, even Chris Stewart, as names that can fill the role. Rookies and younger guys also in the "conversation" can include Frost, Farabee, German Rubstov, Nicholas Aube-Kubel, Mikhail Vorobyev, et al.
The d corps is right on as well, although I believe that Sanheim will be paired with Braun behind Provy and Nisky, and Ghost and Myers would be the third pairing. My thinking is is that that 3rd pair can cause some fits to other teams 3rd or 4th line and can also be counted on in more offensive zone starts, as those 2 both have great offensive tools. Everyone knows about Ghost's shot and ability in the offensive zone, but Myers has an absolute cannon from the point, and also with his long strides and good straight line skating, he can make up for some mistakes or gambles he takes.
Overall not bad at all though here, I do think when it comes to the Metro, its Washington at the top, then Philly/Carolina either 2/3 or vice versa.
