Robertson(LW)-Hintz(C)-Rantanen(RW)
Duchene(C)-Johnston(C)-Seguin(C)
Benn(LW)-Steel(C)-Bourque(C)
Back(LW)-Faksa(C)-Blackwell(C)
I listed the position that each player played more than 50% of last season.
As it is right now that second line is all Cs and with Bourque playing wing on the third line, that lineup shows 4 centers playing on the wing. If Robertson comes out that means Duchene is now your top LW? Benn is second line LW?
I know you guys keep saying that Johnston is untouchable but with the number of Cs on that list and the lack of LW depth behind Robertson, I would prioritize signing Robertson to a big contract and moving out a C to try and get top 4 RD support and a middle 6 winger.

It's not the position on the ice, it's the position within the cap structure.
