It's incredible, they're icing three full lines of 4th liners. Outside of RNH and Draisaitl, there's not a single guy there that would be getting a regular shift on a playoff team. The defence looks fine though lol.
Next year I'd like...
Cave: 4C
Gagner: Middle-6 RW.
Khaira: Depth LW. I don't think he's reached his ceiling. I suspect we'll know what we have with him after next season.
Rattie: Fine as an extra F. Wouldn't pencil him into my top 6 next year though.
Sell:
Brodziak - Cave is a cheaper, better option imo. Doubt there's much takers (off-season move).
Kassian - at $1.9m he's an expensive 4th liner. Sure, he's played well recently, which is great because that raises his value.
Rieder - Let him walk, unless he wants to take a $1m pay cut on a 'show me' deal.
Chiasson - He's regressed to the norm, lets see if we can get a 3rd for him. Worry that he might want too much in the off-season and not produce well enough on the next contract.
It'd be nice if we can find a 3C that we can lean on, opening up Gagner and JP play for 2RW & 3RW. Then there'd be two spots on LW in the top 6 up for grabs. We'd need to sign a top 6 F if possible, and use one of our internal pieces as a stop gap until Benson is 'overripe'.
