I'd like to do a few assassinations this year, time permitting. No guarantees of course but it's an area of the draft that has been lacking the past few years.

Bert Olmstead - Shane Doan​

Once I was able to put together the Production Line, I figured I'd try to build my team's identity around them, which meant physicality mixed with skill; a good fit for Barry Trotz, who is supported by a top-flight skating coach who has excelled with big skaters.

The first line obviously needs no justification.

The second line is built around Stewart, so I've got a cornerman and a puck carrier on his wings. Barry Trotz knows exactly how to deploy a unique line like this, because the archetype of 'physical triggerman + fast, finesse distributor + puck-winning glue guy' was what won him his Stanley Cup, with Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson in 2018.

Third line is a shutdown line that can actually score, with Barkov and Provost among the best at their position defensively while Roberts brings size and shooting along with responsible play.

Then my fourth line is all energy and guts. 28 years of combined captaincy in the NHL between Getzlaf and Doan, plus Wilson is penciled in as the next Capitals captain. All three are big men who rack up hits and defend capably. Getzlaf excelled as a matchup centre for Anaheim against the big boys out West for many years, and is overqualified as a 4C here, so I have no concerns about throwing this line out for a few shifts against top lines to establish the forecheck and set the tone physically. Sort of a Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck line on steroids, which was the heart and soul of the Islanders teams that Trotz squeezed every single drop out of a few years back.

Not as much to say about the defense, as each pairing feels pretty natural IMO. Savard-Clancy just feels like an obvious fit, plus I can utilize both of their abilities to play either side, depending on the matchup. Savard's size and steady two-way generalship complement the excitable and dynamic Clancy, who fills the Red Kelly role to support the Production Line. Goodfellow-Thomson is a similar idea. Less dynamic but maybe a bit safer. Suter-Duncan brings very strong skating for a bottom pairing. Nobody here who needs sheltering on either end of the rink.

Letting Nels Stewart clean up whatever mess the Production Line leaves around seems like a good formula on PP1. PP2 is set up slightly differently, as Olmstead will be more of a distributor from the side of the net than a crash-and-band rebounder. Goodfellow is utilizing his big shot from the half-wall, and will also take faceoffs, as he had strong offensive years at C.

PK1 feels obvious. PK2 might raise eyebrows with Getzlaf making an appearance, but he was a regular PKer for the duration of his prime in Anaheim, as well as being a regular PKer for Team Canada in most of international appearances in depth roles.

Vezina is a solid starter in this draft. Worters is a very good backup.
