But I'm looking forward to seeing them try it.

I push back on the extremes, and I thought the Lucic dumping from many was extreme last year, but I'd love to see some balance and have the young guys work out.

Just worried about how those 48 minutes of 5 on 5 get handed out.
I only disagree on that there are tons of options for the 4th line that won't hurt you 5v5 and you can get them for pennies in the off-season. Trading picks for bottom of the barrel guys had never worked for Calgary. Every year there seems to be a handful of lower end guys who can sign for 700k and play on a bottom line.
