People are very quick to get upset about this. Assuming Kerfoot and Mikheyev are moved as it's been reported as of late, I assume the lineup to look like:
Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Robertson - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Kampf - Amadio
Simmonds - Brooks - Spezza
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin Dermott
Campbell
Mrazek
Personally I really like this lineup. Bunting is a good netfront presence for the first line. Robertson is ready to make the jump and could likely be a calder finalist playing with Tavares and Nylander. Keefe finally gets his shutdown third line, and the fourth line is reliable as we saw last year. Our defense core stays the same which is fine considering it wasn't the issue last year, and our goaltending is much better. Not a horrible offseason. We could also see Mikheyev moved, but I'm not sure who replaces him. It's definitely not Ho-Sang because he is not a shutdown forward
