The powerplay lines and penalty kill lines are just the recommended lines, I don't think they matter because we want to make some trades.
Speaking of trades, I wanted to get going right off the bat. I was looking at Vinny Lecavalier and RJ Umberger as forwards we could trade. I was also looking at Mark Streit. I ended up trading both Lecavalier and Streit plus a 2016 3rd for Swiss Superstar Filip Forsberg from the Nashville Predators. I definitely feel we got the better end of the deal, with Forsberg looking amazing in real life. We also got Mathias Ekholm, which is nice for defensive cover. We also traded RJ Umberger to the Detroit Red Wings for a 2015 3rd round pick. We gave up a 2015 4th round pick and ate a 1 million dollars of RJ's contract, but I didn't want him and we have cap space, so I thought it was worth it. We also signed veteran playmaker Ray Whitney to a 1 year contract, just for forward cover. Here are the new lines.
