Agree on most of that. I think Bahl can be that tough defensive presence with a stronger defensive game. If Barrie can show some kind of offensive flair and run powerplay 2 I would have no problem seeing a Bahl Barrie pairing. Let's each guy run with with what their strong suits are. If Huberdeau decides to play hockey and a healthy Kuzmenko can pop on the powerplay there will be a nice little pot of gold come trade deadline. I'm really digging the youth train right now also. These young guys aren't totally raw and just need that chance. Bean could be a really nice add also. I really like Andersson but hey, a spade is a spade and give him new scenery. Give Miromanov powerplay 1. Let's see what these have.
Side note: Get a young center for Andersson. Eat salary even for a good one on a contending team. Love Rasmus but this timeline isn't the one.
