Some vets look like they’re going through the motions, but you’re right, every single forward is not slotted properly.

I still have hope that Zary could be a decent 2C, but in order to do so, he will need some serious upper body strengthening to improve his dismal faceoff%. Coronato is probably a middle 6 winger. At this point, Kadri and Backlund are 3Cs. Most other forwards belong on a third line. Kuzmenko and fourth line players are not NHL calibre.
