I think the "guys that might not really hurt you. Is exactly what the reasonable doctor ordered. The core forwards, plus Mangiapane, Dube and Bennett will carry the mail. Guys like Simon and Leivo were brought in to play up and down the lineup and not hurt you. They were brought in to be able to move Linholm to centre and Backlund to 3C.
to have 2 legitimate scoring lines where one doesn't also have to be the shutdown line is a huge change for this team. To also have a 3rd line of Backlund with Bennett and Mangiapane is also huge.
Thats hat those guys bring IMO
