        if this was the team they fielded I'd be ok with it.
        I think Broz will be a legit 3C though might not even need Stephenson but that's impossible to know before signing.

        If the cap goes up like it should we should be able to put together a decent team, depending on how we do the year prior obviously.

        I think they should have thought more long term years ago, instead of 1 year fixes. They just didn't understand that.
        I can say right now, if they don't do well next year, they should put Rakell on Crosby's line and let Crosby inflate his numbers for a trade.
        Ditto with Karlsson. Let him take over the PP and run his numbers up so they can move him out.
        They need to start thinking more strategically.

        I have a feeling though by this season it will probably be time to put Malkin on the wing. I'm not sure he can center a line effectively anymore. It's time to decrease his responsibility and just let him shoot. He's still got a hell of a shot. I know that might be hard for him to admit but after last season, his line was dead for so long. If we get that this season as well, you got to shake it up.
