Looks pretty Black and Blue to me with the right coach. Size, strength and physicality throughout the lineup. We only need a couple tweaks. Getting a big, strong, skilled player from our #6 pick would be ideal though.

Agree - I actually don't think our forward group is as far away as some think. Especially if Monahan and Bennett can provide the physicality they did in junior - Monahan really can grow that part of his game IMO.
If you draft Tkachuk and maybe trade for a bigger RW RFA on a cap crunched team then you are probably there (trying to pry Kevin Hayes out of NY would be one of my priorities alongside getting a goalie - if not him then Schenn from PHI).
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hayes/Schenn
Tkachuk - Bennett - Ferland
Colborne - Backlund - Frolik
Bouma - Stajan - Hathaway
Jankowski, Agostino, Poirier, Pollock, Pribyl, Smith, Carroll would be guys on the farm team who are all over 6'1"
Mangiapane, Shinkaruk, Arnold, & Klimchuk as the smaller guys in the lineup on the farm.
