Who will be on the stanley cup winning team?
My question is, out of all of the players we have in our system right now, how many do you think will be on the team that wins the Stanley Cup? When I think of Burke's top six and bottom six system, I have a hard time believing that there'll be players like:
Kulemin
Grabovski
Tlusty
Hagman
Ponikarovski
Stajan
Players that I can see being on the team are:
Kadri
J. Mitchell
Orr
Bozak
Schenn
Beauchemin
Komisarek
Hanson
So the lines might look something like tthis:
Forwards:
_______ - Kadri - _______
_______ - Bozak - _______
_______ - Mitchell - Hanson
_______ - _______ - Orr
Defense:
Schenn - _______
Beauchemin - Komisarek
_______ - _______
Goalies
Gustavsson - _______
I think the blanks will be filled up by Free Agency, drafting and by the trading players like Tlusty, Kulemin, Grabovski etc. The key will be to trading them when their stock is the highest. I don't think Burke will just trade Tlusty or Kulemin in a rush, but I just as highly doubt that he plans on keeping them for the long haul.
