Sounds about right, could be a 7/8th seed playoff team if everything goes right for them.

Trade the spare goalie to sabres and see what you get?

No Kent Johnson? You’re the first blog I’ve seen suggesting he wouldn’t make the team? He at the least will get third line minutes, but personally I think they balance the vets and youth and put him in Nyquists spot on the 2nd line.

Korpisalo would be more likely than Tarasov

It’s possible. He is waiver exempt. The Russian chemistry is unreal. KJ only played 9 games

Maybe. Maybe a year early. The team still needs to grow before they can go

Always a team that surprises and disappoints during a season, if Columbus stays healthy, everyone plays to their potential and other teams disappoints yeah stranger things have happened.

Johnson and Blankenburg will be on the final roster. Change what you need to in order to reflect that.

I think it should be this
Gaudreau-Jenner-Laine
Chinakhov-Roslovic-Voracek
Bemstrom-Sillinger-Danforth
Robinson-Kuraly-Meyer
Extra Forward-Olivier

Werenski-Peeke
Gavrikov-boqvist
Bean-Gudbranson
Extra Dmen-Blankenburg/Bayreuther

Merzlikins
Korpisalo

Top line in Cleveland
Pyyhtia-Johnson-Marchenko
Johnson needs this season in Cleveland to play full time at center.
This will be the second or third line in Columbus next season.

Johnson-Jenner-Nyquist
Robinson-Kuraly-Bemstrom


Werensky-Boqvist
Gavrikov-Gudbranson
Bean-Blanckenburg

Kent Johnson will be on the team and likely top six before long. No mention on Nick Blankenburg who could surprise and make the team. I see him as the next Tory Krug.
