Well with Beniers coming in and being a lefty he most likely plays LW or C and then McCann moves to wing. So would think one of those two play with Gourde. Wennberg - Tanev could be a thing but we have to see what they decide in free agency. They need a RW upgrade nut that side is weak and LW is stronger, so could see them targeting a guy there and pushing Tanev down. Also have to see who they draft. Wright probably should go back to juniors but they most likely keep him up like jersey did with Hughes. That's another top 9 spot taken.
A center depth of Gourde, Berniers, Wennberg and Rask would be ok. Gourde is way below standards at 1C but you can't really do anything about that and he's a good matchup guy against other top lines. Beniers would be a below average 2C to start but if he finds he game quick could be average by the end of the year. Wennberg would be one of the better 3C and Rask a very good 4C. Team will still have the same issues of lack of top 6 scoring but the bottom 6 should be competitive with the rest of the league. Add a healthy Tanev and Donskoi finds his game again and it could be very good. Would also like to see Geekie breakout.
