Your going to want Maroon over Khaira. I also think Duhaime should be on the third replacing Foligno

Kaprizov - Hartman - Zuccarello
Johansson - JEE - Boldy
Gaudreau - Rossi - Foligno
Maroon - Dewar - Duhaime

Middleton - Spurgeon
Brodin - Faber
Goligoski/Merrill - Addison

The only question is whether Goligoski or Merrill plays 3rd LD. The rest is pretty well easy to figure out. Maroon is definitely in over Khaira, as Khaira was signed strictly as injury insurance depth. Maroon was acquired to play Reaves spot in the lineup since he left.

Correct on Maroon. But Foligno is definitely on the 3rd next to Rossi.

1) Duhaime is a younger Foligno. But Foligno is better equipped to protect Rossi there than Duhaime.

2) Foligno played hurt last year, if he's healthy, there's greater offensive potential between him and Rossi on a line together than Rossi and Duhaime.

Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will Minnesota finish in the ranking?

2. What will most likely be the PP?

3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations?

4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production?

5. How many games each goalie is likely to play?
