how bout Kerfoot and Bracco for the second?

Then they should get the 1OA if Bracco is included he's the best player in the world

Two kids in top 6 and Cozens on the fourth line, it could end badly

Swap put Kahun in Mitts spot. Move Cozens up to 3C and then play Lazar at 4C

we gotta find out if mittelstadt and thompson can play at some point.

its been ending badly, i feel i explained my reasoning in the description.

its a shame that Bracco has been deemed too good for the NHL. a career ruined by his greatness.

I read the description, but this is completely unlike a good solution. Jack after the season said quite clearly that the team lacked veterans and strong players.

i managed to make a team without trading ristolainen, so there you go.

Agreed but Mitts needs to start at wing in Roch before he try's to learn a new position at the nhl level ina top 6 role. TT can start on 4th line and then occasionally mix him into top 6 for a few extra shifts here and there. If he proves he can handle more ice time then we can move him up the lineup. If he flops he is our extra skater

this lineup wouldnt be set it stone forever, but i decided to spend money on hanifin and kerfoot, so we start young. i put thought into where thompson, mittelstadt and cozens go, everything can change.

I think Tage could play very well with Eichel and reinhart. I would like to see a better 2C. And I agree with moving Cozens to 3C and Lazar at 4c. Kahun could probably move top 6. T

i wanted to give that line a longer look and krueger has said he sees kahun as a possible center.

Agreed no lineup is ever set in stone, but I need to see more from Mitts and TT before I give them a shot in a top 6 role.

And what about Risto? We don’t have to trade them in order to assemble a team. Kerfoot, in principle, is a not bad decision at least temporarily, I think Hanifin is overrated, but I would have made this deal, although it might have been better to trade Montour for help in attack and sign Edmundson or Hutton in a free agency. It’s just that there are serious risks in this attack line, if Thompson and Mittelstadt will fail, we will have two holes in the top 6 and we will have to plug them with players from bottom 6, but we have already seen this over the past seasons and nothing good came of it.

I would like to see Cozens get more ice-time than he would in the lineup above. However, it does beat having him play juniors again. If he plays on the first PP unit then I think it'd be okay to play him as a 4th line player
