That 1st and 2nd line and entire defense looks really good. The question is the goaltending
That third line is sneaky good, if it was hot could defiently do damage. 4th line is questionable...thought about switching White out with some heavy hitting 4th line players, any ideas? Melker Karlsson is a thought

Yeah that 3rd line could definitely be sneaky. Duncalir had a solid start of the season and Bertuzzi also had a good year.
Actually I like that 2nd line a lot. Skill, size, speed that line would cause havoc. I am less high than others on the 3rd line actually because of DuClair and to a lesser extent Bertuzzi. How well do those guys do offensively minus the bigger minutes and PP time they would not be getting. Love the top pairing D, less enthusiastic about the 2nd pairing and down right meh about 3rd line. Goal tending definitely could be an issue but definitely a playoff team.

Ye, totally agree with alot of this. I think u play top line 26 minutes, 22 for the second pairing and 12 for the 3rd.
That 3rd line probably gets 12 Minutes a night. Give both of the top lines like 18 and give bottom 2 12. In playoffs you could play the bottom line more and have 3rd line playing 7-8.
Defense is maaajor issue, is their a better goalie on any of the teams?
