I do like the look of our lineup in a potential Kadri signing timeline, but the contract term potential scares me there. I also see Backlund potentially taking on the bump back role that Gaudreau vacated on the first PP Unit. I think Backlund has the strongest zone entry and puck protection up the middle of the ice, and maybe this year we see him flirt with 60 points (that's my bold prediction for the year). Interested to see if Mangiapane could pot 40+ goals with increased PP time and a first line spot, and any sort of bump up from Dube or a return to form from Monahan would be huge.

Huberdeau-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Pelletier-Backlund-Toffoli
Dube-Monahan-Coleman
Lucic-Ruzicka-Lewis

Andersson-Weegar
Kylington-Tanev
Zadorov-Hanifin
