There's no reason to jump through hoops trying to protect 4D since we should be aiming to acquire a PMD to play with Weber anyways. So losing Chiarot shouldn't be a big deal as he's likely already losing his spot, and you don't even really need him as the backup top-4 guy in case of injuries since we have Romanov who can do that.
So true. That lineup was fine in the playoffs. But that style of play won't be sustainable in the regular season. What's the use of being great in the playoffs if you can't make it. You need to indeed add a PMD if available. But even if it's not, Chiarot is going to be UFA next year. How much more will he ask for and is it going to be worth it.
Yet, knowing Bergie, he'll go safe. And it will be 4-4-1.
