I like it too, but I wish Miro was in there. Also still curious about the McGroarty rumors. I don’t think GMBM is done for the summer, but this is already a massive improvement
I hate to break it to ~~you~~ the person who originally assembled this, but they’re not putting Ethan Frank on the Shutdown/4th line. For Frank to get a sweater it would have to be on the top 3 lines. And Miro is more likely to get the call up for one of those top 3 lines spots then anyone else, if not win a top 3 spot outright over Milano depending on how camp goes.
Bogdan Trineyev is more likely to get that 4th line Right Wing spot if they grab someone from Hershey.
*“Trineyev could be one (option),” MacLellan said. “We’ll see what kind of camp everyone has. We’ll have options there.”*

I do have some reservations about having a lefty in Alexeyev being on the Right Side but in all fairness he is listed as LD/RD so thats fair game. And heck Orlov played on his « wrong » side for years so wouldn’t be the first time.
*Edit: Updated first sentence since author of the lines chart is not OP.*
Miro will definitely be playing next year. Especially over Frank.
The most amazing thing about this roster is that we now have one of the top 10 goalie tandems in the league for a total cap hit of under 2 mil… that’s just criminal lmao
I like it
Love it.
I’m excited and happy about these moves but man, we need some goal scoring and it doesn’t feel like we’ve locked that down.
I think Ovi – PLD – Wilson is gonna be our second line. All 6’2, all extremely physical, all 220+lbs
It’s been 4 hours i think i need to call my doctor
I would imagine that Taylor Raddysh would take that 4th line RW slot. He was 2nd in shorthanded time in Chicago last year, and with Dowd & Duhaime, that feels like a classic shutdown fourth line / PK group.
I know nothing about Ethan Frank so I could be way off.
Also, my preference for that 3rd line would be to swap Jimi and Protas… I just prefer bigger center.
Glad we picked up some Defense, because we will definitely not be scoring a lot of goals with that lineup.
… and we even own CapFriendly.
We are **SO** back!
Weak on the wings from a goalscoring standpoint, especially the left side, but maybe Miro takes a big step forward next year.
in what world is miro not a full time nhler next year
I like what’s been done so far. Made some good moves and so far not giving up a whole lot. He’s a risk taker with Dubois; we’ll see if PLD will be happy playing here. He finally got Chychrun who I imagine has been on his radar for a while. Don’t know a lot about Roy since he played in LA, but he has to be an upgrade. He’s got the salary cap issues but that can be addressed during the offseason. He’s made sure to at least have a competitive team for #8.
TVR over AlexAlex, please
Flip McMichael and Lapierre
GMBM really put in work this offseason and in such a short span of time… I’m impressed!
I feel like making any assessment now would be what the Commanders do each off season: « we won free agency/draft/off season! » Until they get on the ice and see what Carbs can do to gel them into a unit, it’s all going to be paper speculation.
Do they seem like improvements? Sure.
But will they be? That we’ll find out in October.
After digesting this a bit there are a few takeaways here:
1. the team got younger
2. TBD if they got better but i can imagine a faster team this season
3. i still get a sense of not wanting to rush young guys (IE: the signings make it tough to see where guys like Miro, Iorio fit in)
4. its a long season and the opening night roster vs the last game of the season roster will look very different.
Miro and Frank will go up and down. Both are nearly ready for the Chel!
Here’s how I think they line up for Game #1, assuming no injuries in the pre-season. This lineup is $5K under the cap:
Ovi-PLD-Wilson
McMichael-Strome-Mangiapane
Milano-Lapierre-Protas the Elder
Raddysh-Dowd-Duhaime
Marty-Carly
Chychrun-Roy
Sandin-TVR
Lindgren
Extras: Thompson, Frank, AA, Bear
LTIRetired: Oshie, Backy 🙁
Raddysh is for Frank, TvR in for AA. Miro and AA will definitely be the healthy scratches. Swap Chychrun and Ferhevary. All in all, I love what GMBM did!
