Berggren - Czarnik - Luff
Hirose - Criscuolo - Smith
Hanas - Andreasson/L'Esperance
Spezia - Worrad - Shine
----------------------
Bliss - Pearson - Tyutyayev

Adding Givani Smith, Pontus Andreasson and Joey L'Esperance instead of those scrubs they'll replace, this will be a very very strong team. also Drew Worrad looked quite strong at pre-seasons.

Like, it won't proably be at 1st line but:
C Austin Czarnik, last 4 seasons, more NHL games than AHL games.
W Givani Smith, last 2 seasons, more NHL games than AHL games.
RW Matt Luff, last 2 seasons, more NHL games than AHL games.

How is that Pacific Division playoff race gonna work? Division with 10 teams.

Central has 7 teams, North has 7, and Atlantic has 8 teams.

Why are those conferences also imbalanced? 17 teams at Wester Conf and 15 teams at Eastern Conf.

Grand Rapids is the most Eastern Western Conference Team. Why are they not moving to East? That would cut some Travel.

This is kind of how Detroit was formerly positioned at NHL. A western team before bigger expansion to west, and when that did grow enough big, it was time to move East.

Easiest solution would be to just move us into the North division and then put Colorado and Calagary into the central.

Looks like my projected lines were pretty close. :eek3:

Only Hirose and Hanas were different. :laugh:

McIsaac on the PP instead of Johansson..? hmmm...

This looks like a really strong AHL team.
Should be a great season and an ideal spot for our top prospects to be able to produce.

Too many players in both Red Wings and Griffins, something going to happen.
