This is the line I would love to see.
Playmaker, sniper, power forward is a great mix. I think both Thomas and kostin can create space for Vladdy. I also think Kostin getting to play on a line with Vladdy could really elevate his game.
I'd go with:
Perron-RoR-Buchnevich
Saad-Schenn-Kyrou
Kostin-Thomas-Tarasenko
Barbashev-Bozak-Sanford (until Sunny returns)
I'll also say I look for Santini to surprise and take minutes from Bortuzzo who I think is the next logical player to move aside from Sanford to clear cap space. Would save $1.375mil and any of Walman/Mikkola/Santini can hold the spot at $750k. I thought Santini looked better than expected at the end of the year, he's a capable 5/7 imo.
