That seems more realistic.
Either way, it all depends on how much dead weight we can get rid of in the summer. I would love if him and someone else can push everyone down the line up. Think people are saying he's green just because we haven't seen him develop. Two years in the AHL is lots.

Bennett is not going to be playing with wing, unless this team gets Auston Matthews. He definitely isn't playing second fiddle to Backlund. Shinkaruk will play the left side or won't play in the NHL. You can't force players into roles that don't fit their games. I could see Shinkaruk on the left side with Bennett and Poirier. Fast and pesky. They might get physically dominated some games, but they would be fun as hell to watch. That would leave the Backlund / Frolik duo together on the third line together as well.
