Whatever the outcome of this season, I would really like the management/coaching staff to prioritize putting young players in positions to succeed and contribute. For example, with the current roster, I would like to see something like this:

Huberdeau-Kadri-Klapka
Posposil-Zary-Coronato
Honzek-Frost-Sharangovich
Farabee-Backlund-Coleman
Lomberg

Hanley-Weegar
Bahl-Andersson
Solovyov-Parekh

I would ideally like to see Andersson and Coleman traded for good value to open up spots in the lineup. But even with them on the roster, I’d like to see Klapka somewhere in the top 3 lines, Zary centering Coronato, Honzek in the top 3 lines (if he makes the team) and I’d like to see the number one powerplay unit have Parekh, Coronato and Zary on it.

I’m doubtful most (if any) of these things to happen since coaches tend to prefer vets rather than young players in most situations but it’s my hope that giving the young players these opportunities pays off early to convince the coaches to stick with it.
