Description

Giving Sam a boost to start the season off, obviously things will adjust and adapt as the season progresses but would like to see 3 top lines each with some speed and talent through. 4th line will develop over time and I see Shinkaruk, Foo, Andersson, Healey, and possibly Mangiapagne, Lomberg and Klimchuk being seen in limited call ups or injury fill ins.
Maybe Brouwer on his off wing might be a change for the good. If he doesn't perform in the first 20 games, on waivers and the punt.
I know I will get flack for Porier on the second line, but anyone with any kind of talent will succeed with Mike and Mike, great opportunity for Porier to make a mark after fighting his demons. I would not be surprised at all to see either Andersson or Valimaki playing regular minutes by the end of the season. I didn't want to do any trades on this one but give Stajan a year in the sun to end his contract.
I left extra players in the line up to show the battle for the bottom 3 to 4 spots. Jimmy Hayes picked up for new chance in a hockey market, plus someone to talk shop with Johnny from the East Coast and Boston College alumni. The other RFAs are all players that were very highly thought of at one time or just hanging on, some with great bloodlines as well. Some good depth pickups for Stockton and who know, one might just surprise us.

Trying to list prospects by where you think they fit in the order is tougher than people think (and every list is different)
I think Janko, and Kulak are the most likely to make the jump. Then I think Andersson, Poirier, Klimchuk, Foo will get looks depending on injury, so I'm not far off where you're at either.
Shinkaruk has been passed now on the depth chart at both Centre and LW IMO. I still think he'll get a look, but this is the year he needs to prove himself. Poirier I think rebounds in a big way, kind of like Ferland did after he got help.
