This will be Zary's first real stretch as a C in the NHL so I put him with Huberdeau and Kuzmenko since those guys need some sheltering to be at their most effective anyways, Pelletier takes Mangiapane's old spot since I figure that's his future role on the team anyways and it's time to see how he does in it, Pospisil goes down to the 4th line since he's better suited to that line then the alternatives as it's traditionally been deployed... we make it up to him by giving him the more important role and making him the C on the line.
Coronato starts with the Wranglers. He's waver exempt, he didn't really show that he's a full-time NHL player last year, and I'd rather he play big important minutes in the A and force his way up and establish himself like Zary did last year.

Agree 100%
This is a good year to:
-see if Zary and/or Pospisil can cut it as a centre
-pump up the UFAs to sell at the deadline
-put Pelletier beside Backlund to learn from the master
-keep Coronato in the AHL for injury replacement and post-deadline
-integrate Klapka and Soloyov on the big club
