Id agree with that. If Marchenko turns into a top 4 and Jensen is a good 5th/6th your looking at:
Kronner, Dekeyser
Ouellet, Marchenko
Smith/X, Jensen
Ericsson is signed through 2021 though...
and we have Sproul coming up too..

I think Scott Czarnowczan can return to Toledo now.
Paetsch - Jensen
Lashoff - Ouellet
Evans - Sproul
I think people may want to temper expectations here. I have a feeling this is a temporary thing, just to get Lash some playing time. I'd be surprised if Holland suddenly changed his m.o. overnight.
But with Lashoff already down Holland has no excuse to not ice the best team possible. He keeps his depth and let's Babcock play the defense he wants.
Big surprise lashoff cleared waivers
I highly suspect that the only way Lashoff gets re-promoted is in the case of 3 injuries on Defence. The first 2 would be Kindl/Ouellet (as the defenders not currently playing which would) and then push Lashoff back up over say Sproul/Jensen. Even then, its iffy because Jensen wouldnt require Waivers which who is to say Jensen is worse than Lashoff.I'm just guarding myself from the very real possibility that after 10 or so games of seeing what Marchy (and perhaps Sproul) brings, Holland goes back to his "tried & true" formula for the sake of preserving depth.
