I could see these scenarios possibly playing out.
But it will be really interesting to see how ready KK, Poehling, and Suzuki are this year. It's a young man's game.

I'm just hoping we have 3 dangerous offensive lines, with no plugs, that are still good defensively. Plus something like Lehkonen-Weal-Armia as the 4th line.

People get so hung up on having distinct #1,2 and 3 lines.
All that matters is our lines outscoring their lines when we are head to head.........
I don't like Drouin with KK. It gives the kid too much burden to carry the weaker player defensively. Domi and Drouin worked most of the year, stick with it.
I would try Poehling as KK's or Danault's LW if he can handle more than 4th line minutes.
Mix up the lines with relatively equal playing time for the top 3 lines. Drive the opponents crazy over who to cover.
Drouin-Domi-Weal/Armia
Tatar/Poehling-Danault-Gallagher
Poehling/Tatar-Kotkaniemi-Armia/Weal
Byron-Thompson-Lehkonen
If Suzuki shows well and makes the club, Thompson drops to 13th F, and either Suzuki or Poehling centers the 4th line.
Of course, this is assuming we acquire no more decent forwards (such as Dzingel, Ferland, Brassard, Boyle or other)

Domi - Turris - Drouin
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Byron - Kotkaniemi - Armia
Poehling - Weal - Lehkonen
Domi's FO% last season = 44.9%
That's absolutely horrible.
They need top6 center. That's a must. LD situation is not that critical, but needs to be fixed next.
Although i hate to put Poehling on 4th line.

Theres no way they break up that top line after last years success.
Poehling is ready, give em proper wingers.
Unless Suzuki kills camp, he likely doesn't make the team and we are lacking RW's so may as well put a guy that has had success there.
The obvious all Finn line.
With the changes to our division, I do not believe this to be a playoff team.

I'd sign MoJo and Dzingle, move Armia to the 4th line, and trade Byron for a 2nd. Keep stock piling 2nds!
I believe this could be a possibility assuming we aren't signing anybody:
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Domi-Lehkonen
Byron-Kotkaniemi-Armia
Peca(or anyone?)-Poehling-Weal
Mete-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Chiarot-Juulsen
Suzuki starts in Laval and slots in once he's ready, pushing one of Byron/Armia down the depth charts. Depending on Poehling's progression, he'd be able to push down the other one:
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Drouin-Domi-Lehkonen/Suzuki
Poehling-Kotkaniemi-Suzuki/Lehkonen
Byron-Weal-Armia
Mete-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Chiarot-Juulsen
Our offense misses maturity... we should be fine going forward with Caufield as well.
Our defense though... needs a top 2 LD. Romanov can't come soon enough.

Tatar / Danault / Gallagher. 2. Drouin / Domi / Ferland. 3. Byron / KK / Armia. 4. Lehkonen / Poehling / Weal 1. Mete / Weber 2. Chiarot / Petry. 3. Kulak / Juulsen. We need some sand paper. So chiarot is a good beginning. Is ferland could signe here would be perfect.

Pretty well balanced, but I don't see how you take the center job from Domi who proved he was a pretty good one last season, way better than Drouin's and Galchy's experiments....

Not too much of a perimeter player? for the coin,IMO.... I'd try barber seeing a cheap player. Still have a few others that might audition for the last RW spot.

I'd like to move on from the no-finnish line, because I'd like Kk to play with some more offensive players. MoJo would be great for KK.
Poehling's big body could help the top 9 on the wing. I'd like to see what he could do with drouin and domi, perhaps even between them at C.
I'd like it if Domi and Poehling was a thing. They could alternate C and LW duties depending on the situation to get the kid some reps at center.
If Drouin could play like he did at the start of last season I still think he could form a good combo with KK.
So, just for fun, if the season started now I'd do...
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Poehling-Domi-Weal
Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Armia
Byron-Thompson-Lehkonen
Mete-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Chiarot-Juulsen
Price
Kinkaid

Bring me back to 2006...
I guess we're not signing other LHD...?
"Kulak spent 164 minutes alongside Weber at even strength this year, and together the duo had a Corsi-for percentage (CF%) of 58.8%."
Clode told Chiarot it's early, but it looks like he'll be playing with Petry.
Alright then. Also, I like Zuke and I think he'll shine in pre-season games. Out from left field passes on the tape to Lord Byron on the 4th line, that should net us a couple.

KK gets more ice time and responsibility but #1 shutdown duties still rest on Danault.
In a year or two Lehkonen and Gallagher swap lines. Domi - KK - Gallagher becomes the #1 two-way line.
Danault - Poehling - Lehkonen becomes #3 as Tatar leaves via UFA.
X - Suzuki - Caufield becomes the sheltered #2. The X could be someone like Kreider.
Drouin + a 1st is moved for a legit PMD.
Evans/Ikonen/Olofsson/UFA for 4C.

I have it close to that. But I think there will be moves up front.
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Drouin - Domi - Poehling
Lehkonen - Kotkaniemi - Suzuki
Byron - Weal - Armia
Thompson
Mete - Weber
Chiarot - Petry
Kulak - Juulsen
Reilly - Folin
But I hope we sign someone like MoJo to push Lehkonen to the 4th line and trade Byron for a 2nd to keep stocking up on picks.
