Can't argue with much of that.
Ennis-Eichel-Reinhart as a second line almost doesn't seem fair to the competition, although I'd probably swap Kane and Ennis because that line could get pushed around by more physical teams. I really think Moulson needs to go before this team will be a real competitor. A major goal of the rebuild is to get rid of guys like him.
I could go either way on Gionta. His leadership could be beneficial again on such a young team, and ROR could have another year to grow into the captain role, but his hockey skills have deteriorated enough that I wouldn't miss him. We can find leadership elsewhere.
The guy loses some credibility with his depth chart having Pysyk behind Bogo and Gorges.
And bringing Andre Benoit back.

Not a top notch threat, but a threat. Add that to his tenacity and willingness to throw the body around, and a decent Passer IMO, and you got a guy who can help you win even when he's not on the scoresheet.
I'll take it
Bogo, skill wise, huge step down from myers. But sadly, myers is jeckel and hyde. Lackadaisical and lolly gagging one minute, and a beast and dominating force the next. I haven't kept up to him recently though. I did love myers and hoped he would find his game consistently
He has played well. Playing top line minutes against the best competition. He was a plus player but you are right doesn't use that huge body enough. He should be smoking guys. Hopefully Big Buff rubs off on him and he starts throwing his weight around. Armia played 43 games mostly in a 3rd line checking roll and he played decent in that role. I think good enough to have him on the next year's squad at least. The writing is on the wall with Stafford though as all of the younger, cheaper guys are coming in behind him. He will probably be playing 3rd line - 2nd line depending on injuries and how well Laine plays. I'm interested in Lemieux but I bet he plays a year in the A first.
