simon over rodrigues or kapanen. He has been playing well, but rodrigues is on fire. they would probably put rod on the second line.

they aren't putting Carter on the wing.

I don't mind this, Rodrigues has played great on his own line. I think him centering a third line and moving Carter to Malkins wing could work out really well for both ERod and Malkin. I would try and trade Zucker as well to get a better winger for the second line instead of Simon.

imo kapanen and erod don't match too well I'd rather have:

heinen -- geno -- kappy

zucker (Simon) -- Carter -- e rod


OR


kappy -- geno -- carter

zucker/simon -- erod -- heinen
