You've more or less got the lineup I'd want to see. Some things people do that bother me are play McLeod, play Holtz in the bottom 6 or not at all, keep Johnsson around, play Siegenthaler lower than he deserves to be, and sleep on Smith. You've done none of those.

Some extremely small nitpicks, Johnsson has a 10 team NTC which would prevent that trade, but that doesn't stop him from getting waiver claimed, and McLeod is good enough as a depth piece that I'd scratch him before I traded him for so little. Personally, I'd have Zetterlund making the team, and I'm not confident that Wood will ever be an NHL caliber player again.

Nice. If thats the top-6, I'd think it would more likely be:

Palat -- Hughes -- Mercer
Holtz -- Hischier -- Bratt

Holtz will hopefully get top-line spot eventually, he won't likely start there.

Hughes was talking less than 1/2 of the faceoffs on his own line at end of last year. If that continues, Sharangovich or Mercer might again be stapled to him.

Bratt plays RW...far better on right side.

Add Okhotiuk as 7th dman.
