Lucic (0.84) - Ryan (1.36) - Mangiapane (1.49)
Rieder (0.50) - Jankowski (1.07) - Frolik (1.39)
Czarnik (1.14)

Now Rieder is coming off a rough season but the season prior he was at a far more respectable 1.04 P1/60. And we can operate on a basis that Lucic is, ironically enough given his history of 30G and 60P seasons... a guy who is not there to score. Regardless, there's reason to think he may be more productive this season on a team with a superior blueline.

vs

Schwartz (1.58) - Schenn (1.27) - Tarasenko (1.41)
Sanford (1.08) - O'Reilly (1.55) - Perron (1.68)
Maroon (0.93) - Bozak (1.12) - Barbashev (1.36)
Thomas (1.20) -Sundqvist (1.41) - Steen (0.99)

Our team is more than deep enough, whether that's in the top six or bottom six.

Make the playoffs.
Don't be a Gulutzan in the playoffs.
Get Hot.

...now just imagine post-trade deadline:

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Hall - Bennett - Tkachuk
Dube - Backlund - Rieder
Lucic - Ryan - Mangiapane
