There's an obvious hole at wing in the top 9, Rooney is likely the best choice to fill it in the interim.

This team is good enough for a playoff spot as-is, I think their best chance to contend is to grow cap space throughout the season as injuries may happen.

Possibly deal for Patrick Kane at the deadline

Until then use the value players at 3rd line wing,
there might be a carousel here, Rooney, Ruzicka, Zary, Pelletier... I don't think Phillips gets a realistic shot... unfortunately

Rooney should go to the fourth with Lucic and Lewis, ideally, Ritchie may just be Lucic insurance

I like the two top lines as above for starters, if Toffoli proves to be on the back 9 of his career he will fall into that third line role nicely. But if he is on pace for 25-30 goals I see that as a good fit.
