Based on 28 teams, it's fair to say the top 84 forwards would be considered as "top line", the next 84 would be 2nd line, etc
Top 56 D would be 1st pairing, next 56 would be middle pair, etc.
Ratings wise, that looks something like this:
1st line 74+
2nd line 71+
3rd line 69+
4th line 67+
1st pair 72.5
2nd pair 70+
3rd pair 68+
Starter 80+
Backup 75
This is how the Flyers are looking so far, early into the summer:
Cooley 73 Horvat 77 Ehlers 74
Svechnikov 72 Malkin 73 Lindholm 72
Marchment 72 xxxxxx - xxxxxx
xxxxx - Luostairnen 69 - xxxxx
Sergachev 75 Andersson 72
Edmundston 68 Kulikov 69
Gustafson 68 Barron 67
Vas 88
Hofer 80
Or, when we throw max money at Matt Duchene, marking the 2nd time as a GM that I will heavily overpay for him, it would look like this:
Cooley 73 - Duchene 77 - Ehlers 74
Svechnikov 72 - Horvat 77 - Lindholm 72
Marchment 72 - Malkin 73 - xxxxxx
xxxxxx - Luostairnen 69 - xxxxxx
Some holes to address up front during free agency but our D is the weak point here and should be the focal point rather than force Vas to carry the workload again
