Thread: Mock Roster 10
Love the names you have on Defense. There are some things I really like, but a few things I question on your plan.

Agree/The Good
1) very strong defensive unit put forth on the ice for a defensive minded coach
2) I like that there is still room left in the cap to make moves at the deadline

Disagreements/Concerns:
1) bringing Loui Eriksson back- for one; $5 million is way too much for a guy who is so inconsistent with his offensive production. Let another team spend that kind of money on him. for two; if you're going to keep him you keep him on the third line with Spooner who he played better with last season ALSO allowing you to pair Pastrnak with Krecji but that puts Connolly or Hayes on the line with Bergeron.
2) Malcom Subban backing up Tuukka- for one; he wont be back from his throat injury in time to start the season on the ice. for two; last season he showed he still needs one or two more seasons of development in the AHL before he can take 30+ games at the NHL level
3) how are you going to retain the following guys come your 2017-2018 season; Subban, Pastrnak, Marchand, C. Miller, and Spooner? Assuming they all play to their presumed potential those are going to be some more expensive contracts
4) if Acciari fails as your fourth line centerman, whats your plan B?
