Gorges - Tinordi
Beaulieu - Thrower/Emelin

Price
Desjardins

or you could just move Collberg to the first line and it would probably work out (Pacioretty and Galchenyuk have the defensive awareness, size, playmaking abillity, and grit to work well with Collberg) ,then put Gallagher on the second line with Plekanac (just sayin)
Also Subban could work well with thrower (unless the size of that line becomes an issue, but those two have skillsets to compensate for that) then put Emelin with Bealieu as defensive reassurance on his line, then you have the deadly shutdown duo of Tinordi and Gorges, use Markov for an upgrade at forward, and you still have Morgan Ellis and Raphael Diaz waiting on the depth chart (could be good if you seriously want bargaining power for legitimate forwards (or if Markov doesn't return to his once great form or retires) even though most of the forwards are good at their role you still could use serious upgrades at one or two positions if you want to be a real good contender for the cup again)

[Mr. Hab]

3-4 years from now...

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Leblanc
Bozon/Hudon - Eller/Leblanc/Plekanec - Collberg
Kristo? - Plekanec/Leblanc/Eller - Gallagher
Prust - White - Moen


Tinordi - Subban
Gorges - Thrower
Beaulieu - Ellis
Emelin
Dietz


#1) Price
#2) backup?

[Stop Winnin]

Hopefully Grigorenko/Ennis/Hodgson turn out to be a #1.

Ennis Grigorenko Stafford
Foligno Hodgson Armia
Ott Girgensons Pominville
Catanacci Kea Some grinder

Myers Ehrhoff
McNabb Sekera
Gauthier Leduc Psysk

Miller
Enroth

D's a little soft, but the forward group has a good mix of grit and skill IMO.

He is certainly underrated around here

Care to elaborate? We don't really seem to hear much about him, and were kind of surprised when he was ranked so highly in our top 20 list.

Didn't follow him that closely but I do know that many people at Michigan thought he was the team's best player last season as a rookie

All I was saying is that you usually see Stars fans put the usual suspects in their future top sixes - the Smiths, Chiasson, Glennie, etc. - it was just nice to see Guptill get some love

[Definition]

? - Crosby - Bennett
Neal - Malkin - ?
? - Sutter - Uher
? - Vitale - ?

Despres - Letang
Morrow - Maatta
Strait - Engelland

Fleury

~ We have plenty of bottom 6 forward prospects, which ones make the roster is anyone's guess

~ Pouliot, Dumoulin, Harrington are traded to fill the holes in our top 6, Engelland is kept around as a veteran bottom pairing player who provides toughness

[garret9]

My Jets guesses (man will I ever look back at this and think I was stupid crazy) for 4-5 years in future.

First line:
Kane - Scheifele - Wheeler
Some scouts are starting to think Scheifele can be a legitimate #1 C, but for now it's hit or miss... let's pretend.

Second line:
Telegin - Little - Burmistrov
Any three of these could play centre depending on who is doing better there.

Bottom 6:
Ladd - Cormier - Klingberg
Lowry - Sutter/Olsen - Brassard/Kosmachuk
Not sure if Kosmachuk, Sutter, Olsen and Brassard will turn out NHL level or bust but at least half of them should and bottom 6 isn't too hard to get via FA. Ladd would be first person for top6 with any injuries.

Defense:
Trouba - Bogosian
Enstrom - Byfuglien
TBD - Postma
Melchiori/Yuen - Redmond
We'll pretend that one of Trouba/Bogosian learns the off-side.

Goalies:
Pavelec
Dekanich/Pasquale


I could like this as it wouldn't be hard to move pieces around and improve with a mid 6 FA or two.

no setogouchi (or bouchard)?? also since 3-5 years is very far out, we could have another top draft pick in the lineup named mackinnon or jones
