Really you'd better explain to me what exactly those right chairs are because I've watched the same group get beaten down for two years running.
Jake Evans was forced to a fourth line two season ago he pouted the entire time until he got bumped because of injury.
Last year he lucked out with the Dach and Dvorak situation this year he'll likely be asked to play that 4th line roll again not his cup of tea.
RHP played on a fourth line last season I watched him on one shift where he literally got stopped dead in his tracks multiple times while trying to move up the ice. Pezz runs around hitting everyone he can reach and the other team just turn around and take it out on his smaller line mates.
We have some potential fourth line guys who will play in Laval but they are probably a year out.
You did not.
Evans never pouted being put on the 4th line, unless there's injury, he always played there.
Ylonen played 59 games last year, won't be here this year
Pearson played 54 games on that bottom 6, you won't see him either
Pezzetta played 61 games, probably won't have a place for him this year
Even RHP with 45 games, he might be the 13th forward next year.
That's what we all saw.....mix with that the 17 games of White and 23 games from Mitchell, things you won't see either.
We're one winger away from icing Roy, Dvorak, Anderson, Gallagher, Evans and Armia on our bottom 6 and that, we never saw. Although many are grossly overpaid, it's still a very good bottom 6 when you look around the NHL.
And on top of that, slim chance one of Beck, Davidson, Heineman, Kapanen, Tuch, Xhekaj, Mesar start pushing to get a spot.
