After another 1st round loss during the playoffs last year, GM Alex was not satisfied with the performance of his team. Therefore, he has made the following changes:
In: Pierre Luc Dubois, John Marino, Jonathan Quick, Patrick Laine
Out: Evgeny Kuznetsov, J.T. Compher, Joel Edmundson, Calle Odelius, Cutter Gauthier, Tyler Pitlick.
We are now confident that we have one of the best team in the league and we believe that the door is now wide open for us to win the cup!
The actual line-up is as follow:
Offense
1st Line : Marner – Aho – Tkatchuk
2nd Line : Laine – Suzuki – Dubois
3rd Line : Schmaltz – Pageau – Strome
4th Line : Kampf – Boyd – Hataway
Defense :
1st Line : Makar – Lindell
2nd Line : Siegenthaler – Gudas
3rd Line – Marino – Graves
Goalie :
Quick
Vanecek
Since the average age of our top 6 forward is 24 years old, we are confident that the future is bright in Washington.
However, GM Alex will have a limited patience with Marner and his 13M salary so it will be no surprise if he his traded before the end of the year…
