Salary Cap Mode: Basic

In regards to kronwall. I just think there's no way that knee can hold up. This has to be Ken hollands plan as to why we're so far over the cap and doing nothing about it.

First line was dominant when together last season. Another year of experience for mantha should make that line even more talented.

Larkin and Abby seem to actually have chemistry. Historically nyquist has played his best hockey on the right wing with a power forward to his left. (Has been franzen in the past at times has been Abby) could prove to be very effective line and get nyquist back to being a consistent name on the score sheet.

3rd line. The name of the game is speed. Line has it in spades.
4th line. Sheahan will rebound. Albeit on the fourth line. Could prove a great matchup line.

Dk and Jensen looked pretty good towards end of season on top pairing. Keep them together. Jensen has offensive freedom. Dk goes back to being the talented defensive d he has been all but last year.
Second pairing. Green place best with a mobile partner. Daley brings that to the table. Decent second pairing.
3rd pairing. Rotate Ericsson and sproul. But you have to give sproul and his booking shot a hell of a look because that's bringing a lot more to the table than big e has been.

HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO TRADE HOWARD. Hopefully no one claims coreau. Solid back up once Howard is gone and that net is petrs.
