Lorentz likely won't play in the top 9, and TDA is going to play with Slavin, which is why he was consulted when he was brought in. On the ice, it makes a lot of sense. The off-ice stuff and the fan fall out are slightly different, but it's likely going to be
Svehcnikov - Aho - Teravainen
Niederreiter - Trocheck - Necas
Martinook - Staal - Fast
Lorentz - Stepan - Leivo
Slavin - DeAngelo
Skjei - Pesce
Cole - Bear
Andersen
Raanta
There's still a hole in the top six (Nino) , and they need a top-nine winger to replace Fast.
Also, one thing to nit-pick. Svechnikov is rumored to have a deal at 8x8.75. That was from a credible Russian reporter a few days ago
