Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

1st Line - It works, no need to change it
2nd Line - Can’t have Kerfoot on the 4th line, this just works out best
3rd Line - A reliable defensive forechecking 3rd line that would be great for the playoffs.
4th Line - Bottom 6 is cycled with even minutes, pretty much the best forwards we have,that didn’t make the top 9,

1st pair - Rielly and Lyubushkin has worked over the past couple of games, so don’t change it
2nd pair - Calgary’s old top pair, should work here
3rd pair - Hopefully Sandin could work alongside Muzzin, if not you can play Muzzin with Holl or Liljegren

Goalies - I chose Campbell and Kallgren, but Mrazek could easily be Campbell’s backup if he plays decent for the rest of the season.

If the physical element is needed we could also have Simmonds/Clifford slot in on the 4th line alongside Engvall/ Blackwell and Spezza and change the bottom 6 to be:

Mikheyev-Kampf-Kase
Simmonds-Engvall/Blackwell-Spezza

*You could also slot in Knies into that bottom 6 to replace Simmonds if his rumoured opportunity with the Leafs goes well.
