I think Andersson or Valimaki should take Kulak’s spot, with Prout as #7.
I think Dube or Mangiapane should play on the 4th line and Peluso should take the #13 spot. Peluso and Prout are perfect candidates to sit in the press box and dress when needed.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
Bennett - Jankowski - Frolik
Dube - Ryan - Czarnik
X Peluso
Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Valimaki/Andersson - Stone
X Prout

I think Kulak has upside. He's played better each year (and I wasn't a big supporter at all at first). Lazar might yet. He has had terrible linemates (I love Stajan but Lazar definitely got the worst version) who couldn't keep up. Even so he got chances. This camp has not been a good one, but he's got way more tools than Hathaway, Peluso or the like. Including the fact he can play C in a pinch.
