Since Plekanec is not on the team, I guess this is for 2016-17? In that scenario, Lawson will be 33 years old, I guess you figure he'll be a late bloomer? Not sure you'll be able (or want) to hold on to a 30 year old Desharnais
and a 29 year old Engqvist as spares, assuming they've been good enough to stick in the NHL over those 5 seasons.
I assume you're forecasting this lineup as if every prospect reaches his absolute top potential, and that you realize that is not going to happen in reality. Even so, expecting Leblanc and Kristo to be key parts of a 1st line is unreasonable. If
one of those players manages to make himself part of a top line, it will be as a compliment to a star or two.
