I wonder how depth is really defined here. On D - it seems pretty clearly a 3rd pair LD only. Goalie - swapping out Smith for another back up, would certainyl qualify.
On forward, is it only 4th line, or would that extend to the ever fluid middle six? Would players like Shenn (one more year left) or rentals expiring contracts like Zuccarello or Hayes be considered "depth"? They would figure into the middle six. Would those players be a risk to upset the apple cart? I'm just not sure.
