Very nice.
I like that you have Right handed players on RW and Left handed players on LW.
IMO Ruotsalainen and Mittelstadt will in the line up, but your guess is as good as mine and with Krueger behind the bench, anything goes.
Just a thought replace Rieder with Ruotsalainen, as Arttu was a PK forward for Ilves Tampere.
Slide Cozens to RW and slip Mittelstadt to 3rd center, bumping Lazar to the press box.
Giving Casey two good wingers just may bring out his talents.
But Cozens at center could be a good move as he was one of the better face off center in the Championship.
EDIT
Did you do one for the Oilers.
I would like to see how you use Kahun and what you think will be his ceiling.

I made this lineup based on the lines of yesterdays training camp and made a couple of changes with adding Cozens and giving him the best opportunity for success as a rookie. I put Reider on the fourth because I read that he was going to be replacing Girgensons on that line. I just made a team for the oilers showing where I think Kahun will be put in the lineup. I think the oilers signed him to play with Draisaitl so that's where he is as of right now.

I was p!$$ed at first, when Skinner was demoted.
But him & Cozens on line3 could be a matchup nightmare that really gives us an advantage
Haven’t had that since the Briere/Drury days

I like it 👏👏👏

Once Quinn is ready that's a great line with Skinner-Cozens-Quinn

Love the lineup! If I had to bet, I'd say that this is exactly how it will look on opening night.

As exciting as those lines would be, I think it would leave us too thin on the penalty kill. And from everything I've read, Reider had more than earned himself a roster spot with his play in camp. I think that for the PK, we need to have Reider, Eakin, and then one of Lazar/Sheahan in the lineup. I know Ruutsolainen played the kill in Liiga, but it's a whole different on the small ice over here so I don't think he's plug and play just yet.
