One thing I think we see the return of in Calgary this year is "Roles"

Under Peters/Ward I never felt like our forwards really had or understood their roles. We rolled 4 lines, and everyone was expected to contribute, but I'm not sure we see clear roles.

Pitlick is a guy that clearly fits a role on this team as a third line RWer that can play on a shutdown line.

What I see shaping up so far is a clear definition of top 6, shutdown line, energy line.

TOP 6: Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Monahan

Shutdown: Backlund, Pitlick

Energy/Size: Lucic, Ritchie

Undefined right now: Dube, Zary, Pelletier, Phillips, Gawdin, Ruzicka
