Well done assessment and I agree on a great deal, especially about Ferland.
Howèver I think the 3m line will be better. Tkachuk is going to improve and quite frankly i could see Frolik being shuffled down. I like frolik but more offense on that wing would make the second power play better, and I don't see Backlund regressing.
Also by 30 games in I see whatever line Jankowski is on to be a problem for other teams. Size, skill, and skating learning from an old dog. I kind of like it.
