1. I’d keep the Kadri line together.

2. Cozens and Zary get a shooter for one-timers. Cozens, a right-handed centre can pass to Sharangovich, the left-handed shooter. Zary, a left-handed centre can pass to Coronato, the right-handed shooter. Also, Cozens, the bigger centre gets Pelletier, the smaller energy guy, on his strong side. Zary, the smaller centre gets Duehr, the bigger energy guy, on his strong side.

3. Lomberg goes with Backlund and Coleman for a veteran, shutdowns line.

Now, back to reality in which the Flames likely won’t be able to acquire Cozens…

Huberdeau Kadri Posposil
Zary Cozens Sharangovich
Coleman Backlund Coronato
Pelletier Rooney Lomberg
