Forwards look right to me. Four lines as I would have them. And Clarke, Studenic as next guys in.
If Seattle takes Bastian, I think they will have to consider finding someone who fits that line. Mango played some 4RW last year but not sure that fits as well as another size/speed/havoc package to go along with Wood/McLeod.
I also think there is a chance we will see both Tyce Thompson and Graeme Clarke audition for 3C at some point in season. Both got reps centering Holtz line in AHL last year.
On defense, Smith and Severson are going to split up. Or so I have read. Graves > Butcher eventually, I’d think as well.
Larsson would be great, but it sounds like he is headed back to Edmonton. We could use his lane-blocking.
And agree with
@DevilsFanInTx that we could use a veteran in that 3rd line. Even if it’s bringing back Zajac for a year.
On the draft, I want, in this order:
1. Power
2. Eklund
3. Hughes
4. Clarke
But very happy with any of them
