LInes look good. Only change I might make is moving either Mantha or Brown to the 1st line and dropping Oshie down, as I think they can provide a little better physicality to that line compared to Oshie. Otherwise maybe swap Mantha and Brown so they can play their natural sides again? I do like keeping Alexeyev up on IR and possibly giving him a chance to play when he returns.

I think imo. Mantha is our 2nd line Lw and he won’t be moved. Brown will maybe get switched with Oshie. But remember in t
He playoffs when will was hurt Oshie filled Wilson’s role and played it perfect. Or maybe sheary will get moved to that Wilson spot like last year and maybe mojo will go to the fourth line and Mikey still on the third. The most realistic thing on that tho lav would put Mikey on the 4th and not give two damns.

Fair points. Welcome to CF

Who should we grab as a true backup at the deadline

If San Jose is willing, I'd be all for a Reimer to DC trade. Otherwise, I'd look at one of the Blackhawks goalies if either of them play well.

I think that they will swap Brown and Oshie as well as McMichael and Eller, but other than that looks good
