Seems about right.

Hakanpaa in my opinion will play with Miro and Lundkvist will play with Lindell.

Studenic stars instead of Damiani. Studenic will then go down to Texas once Dellandrea comes back.

Swap Nils and Jani. Kivi will likely play over Damiani. I’d pull Glendening before Kivi

I think the D pairings could be this, specifically in this order.

Curious what Johnston and Peterson could create.

Yeah you’re probably right with spreading out the talent on D I was just throwing lines together wasn’t that concerned aside from making sure I didn’t leave Benn or Suter too high and having to respond to all of the Captains Obvious.

Not really high on Kivi or Glendenning, ideally would have to compete with each other to stay in the line up the motivation of UFA year should be a big motivator. I think they both start the season unless they are sent through waivers to be cap compliant on season start date and (very unlikely) get claimed. Just realized I forgot to switch Olofsson and Kivi once I had the extra cap space, whatever bottom line is best case scenario maybe we can get two rookies in the lineup Damiani or Dellabdrea and Johnston. But I have a feeling they send Johnston back to Juniors. The hope is Nill and company don’t want to set up the contracts so that both Stankoven and Johnston need new deals when Robertson is up for renewal.

I posted another thread where Damiani and Johnston don’t make the team and it’s definitely a less exciting bottom 6 and a much more useless Benn without talent to play with.

Hopefully they or whoever is getting those spots can create enough to counter Benn’s weak spots and give him someone to play with this year instead of (needs help himself) Seguin (inconsistently good) Raffl and (has potential but can’t be the guy and needs to be set up) Gurianov. We’ll see I guess.

Imagine playing on a line with Benn. He’s still a good player. He has a strong character that could help a younger player. His cap hit hurts compared to his production, but he could teach Wyatt, Ty, Mavrik, or Logan a few things.
