Love the idea of Enqvist in that 4th line center slot.

Yeah I really don't see why we can't start the year with a bottom 6 comprised mostly of 2nd and 3rd year players. Guys like White, Pyatt, Deharnais, Eller and maybe Engqvist are all pretty well acquainted with the system, and know their role on the team. The key to this team's success, imo, is having a mobile, puck moving D. I'd save money on bottom 6 forwards, and put the excess cash into locking up Markov, Wizniewski and maybe even Emelin. We're a goalie out kind of team, a team that thrives off of speed out of our own zone, stretch passes, and creating off the counter attack. Unfortunately, with slower guys like Hamrlik, Spacek and Gill, we don't implement this gameplan enough. I've always said that all your forwards look better, faster and more skilled when your D are consistently pushing the play. Now imagine 3 different waves of defensman featuring one of Markov, Subban and Wizniewski. We would be dominant.
