Could you imagine if we sign Neal to a 1 year deal?
Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Neal - Tavares - Marner
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen
Hyman - Lindholm - Brown
I think Johnsson and Hyman would swap in that scenario, but yeah, that's deadly. I'd almost rather give that kind of 1 year deal to someone like CDH, though.Could you imagine if we sign Neal to a 1 year deal?

He really does. With the amount of special teams that he plays, less 5v5 probably isn't a bad thing. He can always move up the lineup for injuries or if the team just needs a shuffle.Brown looks really good on the 4th line.
I think that you guys are selling Grundstrom short. He has been a beast in both Sweden and the A playing against men. I have him playing with the big club next year. He looked dominant on the Marlies at times these playoffs and has great chemistry with Johnsson.Possibly AJ is ahead of Leivo, but he’s also a bit more experienced in a penalty killing role, and there’s an opportunity to maximize value out of players this way.
Boosting Leivo’s value while grooming AJ and Kap in lesser roles could provide better assets next offseason while keeping dollar values down a smidge.
Drool.I'm excited for the power play
Matthews - Tavares - Marner
Rielly- Nylander
Marleau - Kadri - Kapanen
Gardiner- Johnsson

Rielly is his name he has been here long enough to get his name correct.Kadri and Tavares will play the same role on different powerplay units.
Matthews, Tavares, Marner are likely going to make up PP1. One of Riley/Gardiner will be on the backend, but unsure who is the other side.
Nylander, Kadri, Marleau are likely going to make up PP2. One of Riley/Gardiner will be on the backend, but unsure who is the other side.
That leaves Hyman, Brown, Kapanen, Johnsson, Zaitzev, Dermott, to fill up the two remaining spots.
I imagine both powerplays will be ran similar.
Kadri and Tavares will be net front presence/tips. Matthews and Marleau will be shooters and Marner and Nylander will be the playmaker/quaterback.
Gardiner and Riley are opposite. Gardiner likes to take big shots, Riley likes to flutter ball it on net hoping for rebounds/tips. Not sure which works better for who.
Kapanen, Johnsson are relative unknowns on the PP - but if I remember correctly, Johnsson was basically used like Matthews would be down with the Marlies. Can't remember on Kapa.
I think Nylander takes a D spot on the PP, leaving a side option open to one of the above. Not sure Marner can quarterback from the blueline - his success came from the hashmarks.
