The team is a nice blend of not too old, mixed with pretty young. The defense is quite young on average except for Trouba, and Braun who dosen't really count.
If you take out Copp, Chytil and Kakko this is not the same team. The Panarin-Strome-Copp line is easily our best even strength line. Our third line sucks if Kakko and Chytil aren't there. Whey they are you can put Lafreniere there or move Goodrow to the 4th line. What thickhead Gallant should do is move Kreider to RW with Zibanejad and put Lafreniere there on the left wing and leave him there. Let's be honest, for the most part Zibanejad and Kreider have blown offensively at even strength. Yeah, they have points at even strength but I never felt they were dangerous at even strength most of the games they played this season.
