favorite time of year is slowly approaching the team should be stacked this year

I know that Rehkopf is a former Ranger so that may make me slightly biased, but I am shocked people have him on the 4th line or as one of the extra forwards again. Especially since he was on the team last year and is 3rd in the OHL in scoring this year (for some reason having more assists than goals which is very different from last year). I think that you want him on a top line with other elite players and they can make things happen offensively.

The issue is he's up against the following in the winger spots.

1. Gavin Mckenna (WHL leading scorer with 41 points in 21 games),
2. Porter Martone (2nd in the o in goals),
3. Beckett Sennecke (3rd overall pick, having an excellent season in the O),
4. Easton Cowan (51 game point streak & played top 6 last year),
5. Matthew Wood who adds a different element and played well last WJC.

Now add in guys like Bradley Nadeau who played an NHL game last year, Tij Iginla who went 5th overall, Andrew Cristall who has 31 points in 10 games, Callum Ritchie who got a cup of coffee this year in the NHL and has been pretty good this year in the O, Cayden Lindstrom could be back.

I think 13th forward makes sense to me.
