Centres - L. Brown 1C, White 2 or 3C, Norris 2 or 3C & Kastelic 4C - (Byfield 1C)
LW - Tkachuck 2nd line, Formenton 3rd line, Paul 4th line (Byfield/Lafreniere 1st line)
RW - Batherson 1st or 2nd line, Pinto 2nd or 3rd line, C. Brown 3rd line
- unknown if Duclair sticks, unclear if Davidsson RW or Veronneau RW ever make it.
LD - Chabot 1st pair, Brannstrom 2nd pair, Wolanin 2nd pair, Lajoie 3rd pair
RD - Zaitsev 1st or 2nd pair, Thomson 1st or 2nd pair, JBD 1st or 2nd pair, Jaros 3rd pair
- Zaitsev is signed for 5 yrs.
- I'd trade Brannstrom for a young top line RW
Goalies - ??? - unsure which of Ottawa's goalies could be a #1 goalie in the NHL.
- Askorov is forecasted to be a #1 goalie & better than any goalie in Ottawa's system.
- lots of assets in net that could be moved to upgrade somewhere else like RW.
Byfield/Lafreniere - L. Brown - Batherson
Tkachuk - White - Pinto
Formenton - Norris - C. Brown
Paul - Kastelic - ???
Chabot - Zaitsev/JBD/Thomson
Brannstron/Wolanin - JBD/Thomson
Lajoie - Jaros
Askorov - Sogaard/Daccord
- Hogberg & Gustavsson could also be a backup or even a #1
