This is a great team.
Their G tandem and D are elite. Nuff said about them.
At offense the loss of Stastny might hurt a bit but with Stone, Marchy, Tuch, Smith, Patches and Karlsson they have the weapons to replace him.
The x factor for them is simple: Cody Glass NEEDS to perform at a 30-35 pts pace (proportional to an 82 games season) minimum. If he doesn't, their C depth will be hurt.

Here's how I'd build their lineup:
Pacioretty-Karlsson-Stone
Marchessault-Glass-Smith
Carrier-Stephenson-Tuch
Roy-Nosek-Reaves

McNabb-Pietrangelo
Theodore-Martinez
Hague-Holden

Lehner
Fleury

I would have my lines like this

Stone-Glass-Patches
-this puts Glass in the best place for him to succeed. He started the year there last year and the high IQ level of Stone & Patches should help him succeed.

Marshy-Karlsson-Smith
We’ve all seen how good this line can produce. Need more steady play from each one, it seems like they all take turns lol

Stephenson-Roy-Tuch
Roy and Tuch looked really good together in the playoffs. Add Chandlers speed and I think it’s the best 3rd line we can assemble

Carrier-Nosek-Reaves
Not much needs to be said

Only pairing I would change is Whitecloud needs to be playing. Him and Hague paired together in the AHL and were one of the best pairings in the league. After Zach’s playoffs you can’t leave him out of the lineup
