first crack... a lot depends on bounceback from 31 yr old Doughty but he's in a reduced role with a partner he had success with and I have a strong team defense and goalies amd good size. Need a lot from either Kotkaniemi or Glass to win a top 6 role. KK was leadinng playoffs in scoring when elim and is a transition monster. I have good familiarity between Patch and Danault - they have good numbers together, and also current teammates Patch/Glass. Same with KK and Armia. And Benn (captain) will have to fix Ho-Sang and keep Kassian in line. Kassian could step in and form a wrecking crew with Benn if Glass isn't ready, dropping Armia with fellow Habs. I like my special teams also - esp PP1. Lehner is a guy who can go the distance.
