I’m not sure you’ll want Evan Rodrigues as a third line center

I think he'll be fine there. His IQ isn't bad, and he has good speed and a lot of stamina, so playing center isn't difficult for him. However he isn't a huge playmaker, so you'll need someone else to thread the needles. He'll excel as a forechecker and creating passing lanes with his speed and hands, along with moving the puck in transition. Fine defensively from what I can remember, if mostly from his hustle and pressure.

The bottom 6 will be all over the place once the team gets healthy. Ideally, Bjugstad takes that spot when he gets back, but at this point, we don't even know if he exists

He's skating. He does indeed exist.

You must be fun at parties
