GM: Brad Treliving - Although I hate lot of his moves, he surely has a plan with this roster and I don't think it would be wise to get rid of him in the middle of the process.
Head Coach: Marco Sturm - This looks crazy but this is my bet on easily available, future star coach. He had great NHL career as a player, as a coach, he built Team Germany from almost nothing and led them to tremendous succes while playing fast paced hockey generating chances and tons of shots on goal. I think he will be great NHL coach some day.
Lineup:
major trade: To CGY Kaprizov rights, Jonas Brodin. To MIN: Frolik, Brodie, 2018 4th round
Bennet - Monahan - Gaudreau
Tkachuk - Backlund - Kaprizov
Ferland - Jankowski - Versteeg
Brouwer - Lazar - Hathaway
Giordano - Hamilton
Brodin - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone
Smith
Rittich (has shown he can be reliable backup when Smith was healthy)
Top 9 looks to me like a potential scoring powerhouse. 4th line has Lazar for speed, forecheck, Haths for physical aspect and Brouwer for placeholder.
