Imagine the Chicago Wolves with this roster on opening night, or through the first few months of the season; a healthy Ryan Suzuki, Cavan Fitzgerald and Mackenzie MacEachern, Pyotr Kochetkov stopping pucks in Rosemont rather than Raleigh with the Carolina Hurricanes, Jack Drury, just, like, in general, players slotted into the lineups in positions they can thrive in, rather than being forced to play up in roles they’re not ready or suited for.
