Gaudreau - Monahan - x
Tkachuk - Jankowski(A)- Bennett
xx - Backlund - Forlik
Lot's of options for the 4th line(F. Hamilton, Hathaway, Chiasson or some other kid from the farm.)
Giordano-D. Hamilton
Stone(C)-Brodie
xxx-xxxx(D)
A true # 1 Goalie(B)
xxxxx
x would need to be filled through trade(get that line a top 6 RW), the xx could be Ferland and xxx and xxxx could be one(hopefully 2) of the kids from the farm. xxxxx should not be hard to fill.
(A) Jankowski has had a great season in the AHL and is one of the big reason's that the Stockton Heat is in the playoffs and you can switch Bennett to center if you like. Jankowski is ready for the jump to the NHL.
(B) Has to be some one who can carry the mail and play 60+ games and post above .920 Save % and around 2.22 GAA.
(C) Stone has looked with the Flames if they can sign him to a good deal than they should or look for another good top 4 D.
(D) One(hopefully 2) of the Kids from the farm really deserves the chance.
If Vegas takes Brouwer and Stajan and Bouma are traded, that would be very good.
