The playoffs are all about riding your top three forward lines and your top 4 D into the ground. Your depth needs to hold the fort for those shifts where your top guys need a rest.
Gio/Dougie and Brodie/Stone can both play 25 minutes a night. Have fun chasing those four for seven games.
The two $6M players on the top line are playing like $6M players. The 2nd line is one of the five best lines in the league.
The bottom six has a nice mixture of grit, size, and skill. The bottom defense pair won't hurt you if you shelter them.
The goaltending needs to be stable, and you wish they hand a better option to play with Bennett and Versteeg, but every team has holes in a cap world.
This team can do damage.
