Where I see the holes are at Bennett's line. If Shinkaruk or Tkachuk can fill that LW spot, that will give our lines some balance. Bouma, Chiasson and Ferland, maybe even Vey can be interchangeable on Bennett's or Backlund's lines as the third forward and provide some muscle and hopefully a little scoring.
I think now is the time to give one of our rookies a chance on Bennett's line. The rest of the team, defence and goal tending, seems pretty well set and should compete for the playoffs.
One of the biggest loses last season was their mindset moved from winners to losers. This needs to change and it's a big challenge for our new coaching staff.
