Here is how I would rank our forwards for PK - for now:
1. Hischier
2. Zacha
3. Palmieiri
4. Sharangovich
5. Bratt
6. McLeod
7. Bastian
8. Zajac
Zajac just doesn't have the legs for it anymore. But other than Nico, none of the other guys ahead of him can win faceoffs regularly.
If it were up to me, I'd pair Hischier and Palmieri as PK1 and Zacha/Sharangovich as PK2. Bratt/McLeod as PK3.
And if we want a shot-blocking RHD, I'd think Adam Larsson would be our guy.
