Will Cuylle will start in the NHL. I think he slots in well with Chytil and Vesey. Cuylle and Vesey should do well getting to the dirty areas and forechecking to open things up for Chytil.

The 4th line we re-sign Motte. He takes multi year security. ZAR takes a similar deal to Vesey after dealing with a stressful PTO last year. He solidifies a physical shutdown 4th line.

Defensively the only difference is adding Zac Jones. A huge issue last year was outside of Fox none of our defensemen can move the puck, Jones can.

Zac Jones last year when not on the ice with Ryan Carpenter / Ryan Reaves (in 180:15)
CF- 50.3%
FF- 48.5%
SF- 45.7%
xGF- 48.0%
SCF- 49.2%
HDCF- 50.0%

Those are decent numbers for a puck moving 3rd pair defensemen. Hopefully with Gallant gone Jones gets a fair run.
