I’d like to c

Beau-Barzy-Wally
Lee-Nelson-JGP
Bailey-Raty-Palmieri
Parise-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

In this scenario, the isles trade bellows for depth on the blue line.

I think nelson as first line winger in the futuer would solve a lot of problems but rn he's too valuable as 2c

I don’t c them moving him from his natural position tbh

at some point theyll have to in order to let Raty develop. He has the potential to be a 18-20 min center right away.

JGP is a good center, good 2 ways, but his best trait is his face off ability. He shouldn't be a first line winger, max he should be is a 2LC. Also most rookie centers come into the league by playing wing on a veteran line. So i feel like it would be a good fit to have raty JGP bailey for 3rd line or raty JGP and whally as 3rd line.

Lambert basically said that raty cant play w tho

I would like pageau to take the face offs on the first line though, barzal is not very good at them
