I'm thinking that the third line needs some more fire power. Hitch has alluded to this, but away games make it hard for him to feel comfortable not having a 3-man shutdown line. Oh well.
Here's what I propose
Steen Stastny Tarasenko
Jaskin Lehtera Schwartz
Fabbri Backes Brouwer
Ott Brodziak Reaves
Bouwmeester Pietrangelo
Gunnarsson Shattenkirk
Lindbohm Parayko
Off-wings for Schwartz and Fabs, making them the default trigger men and rush initiators. Our right side is better for transition play (Petro, Shatty, Parayko), so Schwartz will benefit from that being on the right side. We need to get our middle 6 wingers comfortable with switching sides as the play develops, allowing us to utilize breakout passes and not get forced running the play through one side. Too often we get a great pass (Petro, Shatty, Parayko, JBo) to a slow winger (Jaskin, Brouwer), or a not so good pass (Gunnar, Bort) to a fast winger (Fabs, Schwartz). We need to be able to align a fast winger with the good pass.
Putting tank with Lehtera should not happen until Lehtera gets his legs - legs that won't slow tank down. Even last year before he really fell off, Lehtera was gassed a lot during the games at the end of shifts, preventing tank from being lethal for the whole shift. Once he has legs, Lehtera might even be my preferred C for tank, but we won't know until Lehtera gets his legs and Staz-tank gets a long, good look
The D can be mixed, too. Bouwmeester needs to be out there with Petro against the other team's top lines - especially if they have speed. But, he doesn't need to be out there when we're running The offense through Petro against the other team's shutdown line. Instead, we should have Lindbohm, Bort, or Edmundson move up (preferably Lindbohm), and have Bouw move down with Parayko for a really solid pairing. This way, we have a big shot for the point at all times (Shatty, Parayko, Ed, Lindbohm), but also maximize our best defensive dmen (Bouw, Petro, Parayko).
Home ice helps a lot here, but I think it's somewhat doable
PP1
Schwartz Backes Tarasenko
Parayko Shattenkirk
PP2
Fabbri Stastny Brouwer
Steen Pietrangelo
PP1
I think this is the perfect PP unit. None of these players are afraid to take it to the net, and all have excellent passing ability (save Backes who will be parked in from of the net). Shatty commands the PP and Parayko offers a bomb or a one-timer from the point. Schwartz and Parayko should be able to maintain possession along that side like crazy, and Parayko's size will work like Keith and Seabrook on the PP. Joy.
PP2
Fabbri is Schwartz Jr., Stastny is C by name only, as Brouwer will be parked in front of the net, moving Stas to the wing. Steen offers a shot from the point and possession coverage for when Fabbri had to toss the puck back to the point. Petro is here because he has great passing and possession, and can feed Stas, ricochet off brouwer's knee, or tic-tac-toe to Fabs. Should be pretty deadly once PP1 wears the defenders down.
