I love the construction of this team. For the first time since perhaps the cup years it feels like everyone is slotted properly.
3 stellar lines with about an average 4th line. Average 4th line may seem like nothing but for the longest time Lizotte was trying to anchor 3rd line while Danault was 2C. We are much deeper now.
Also, really confident with Spence on that 3rd pairing to take advantage of his creativity. He is a more defensively conscious, high hockey iq version of Durzi.
We may also have something with Kaliyev paired with Moore. Trevor’s speed opens up lanes for big body/big shot Kaliyev.
