Imagining just re-signing RFAs but no UFA signings or trades…

F
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
Pelletier - Monahan - Dube
Lucic - Rooney - Lewis
- Ruzicka - Phillips/Duehr
D
Kylington - Tanev
Hanifin - Andersson
Zadorov - Weegar
Valimaki -
G
Markstrom
Vladar

At F, I’m keeping Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman together from the playoffs. As such, Backland is my number 2 centre, and Monahan is my number 3 centre. I don’t think Toffoli can play with Monahan because neither player is fast. So, I have Toffoli with Lindholm, and I gave Monahan quicker wingers. My 4th line makes me nervous, but it seems like the Flames want Rooney to play because they are paying him $1.3M?

My D-pairings will be controversial, but I basically don’t want any liability pairings, and I think Kylington with Zadorov could be a liability, especially if one of them is playing his off-side.
