Is this confirmed

The PTO is confirmed

Please swap the top and bottom pairs for my sanity

Dahlin and Miller played 3rd line minutes last year, expect similar usage, 2nd and 3rd pair will be interchangeable

I wouldn't pick any of Dea, Davidsson, Fogarty or Smith. With the AHL not starting until at least February and the OHL likely not starting at all the prospects with actual value need to be on the taxi-squad. Quinn, Ruotsalainen, Bryson and Borgen.

I bet Dahlin will play more than last season, more Montour, McCabe, Miller and Jokiharju. Somewhere near Risto in time.

I wasnt looking at it that deeply, but yeah Id probably want to carry them, Pekar would be interesting as well. But I think for the majority of the season thats who we'll see

I think he'll get more 5v5 time, I dont think he'll compete with Risto's time though.

Over the last ten games of last season at 5v5, we had pretty clear defensive pairings by ice time:

Montour and Risto had roughly 19 minutes per game.
Jokiharju and Dahlin had roughly 16.5 minutes per game.
Miller and McCabe had roughly 15.75 minutes per game.

Do what you want with that information.

Good, id like to see that
