Hmm. Okay, so this is what I would change.
The line combinations are not good imo, and would be changed, but I doubt this is the main purpose with this post.
I would get rid of Zucker completely, same as Foegele, and replace them with Henrique, and a better top 6 forward. If we cannot get Henrique, we can trade for a 3c, and move McLeod to Draisaitl’s wing. Hamblin should not be up, instead he could be replaced with Carrick, Gagner, Brown etc. Ceci, and Kulak should without a doubt be getting traded, with Broberg getting full NHL ice time. You are over the cap, so I would buyout Campbell as well, and get a legitimate top 4 RHD.
I would want the team to look like something like this:
Nugent-Hopkins-McDavid-Hyman
McLeod-Draisaitl-BLANK
Holloway-Henrique/BLANK-Kane
Janmark-Carrick-Ryan/Gagner/Lavoie
Ekholm-Bouchard
Nurse-BLANK
Broberg-Desharnais
Skinner
Rodrigue/Pickard
The BLANKS would be what you would fill, as those are our biggest holes. So to some it up.. trade Kulak, and Ceci, buyout Campbell, do the resigns, get a top 6 forward, and top 4 RHD, and possibly a 3c if Henrique does not come back.
