One of the best D cores in the league. Followed by one of the worst forward cores in the league.

Wahlstrom and Bellows CAQNNOT play on the same line ever. Defensive nightmare with or without Trotz coaching. A line with those two playing together cost them any playoff shot. Bellows needs to open the season as the 13th forward. $1.2mm was an overpay.

Fixed it, it should take a min

I think they would have just enough to add Kane at 50% or JT Miller at the deadline with the accrued cap.

Might be better to pen the season with combos of:
27-29-26
18-13-21
11-44-12
17-53-15
20

you need to try to add some defensive responsibility across the top 3 units and maybe give Beau speed an extended look with Barzal speed to enhance that element. I don't trust or love 20 yet so he has to open as 13th F and if Parise starts to slip he slides in there. The only great problem to have is a dominant camp showing from Raaty which then changes literally everything because 20 becomes a player who has to get buried in AHL. Bellows isn't 4th line responsible guy to play against other top lines so he really is almost in no man's land
