Needs to replace OEL IMO
Schmidt can be the top 4, Monty worked his way up from the bottom pairing too.
If Adam ends up with Mikko, it would be gravy.
Him with Kulikov would be cool too, less minutes and you have Schmidt playing right with Nikko...
I also kinda like the idea of Bjornfot-Ekblad and Forsling-Boqvist that Paul is trying, and think one of those kids could establish himself this year !
I know they're probably not gonna stick with it and it would mean sitting Schmidt or Kuli, but I wish they tried the kids first.
We kinda always have one of those players that earn himself a great look and thrive in the last few years... Got a feeling it's gonna be from one of the D this year !
