Timonen-Coburn-Grossmann are solid. Any would be a fine second pairing or the less good guy on a first pairing. Meszaros was at the same level before injury. Schenn is a complete wildcard. MAB and Gustaffson could eventually be better than a 6th guy but aren't there yet. Gervais and Lilja are not good enough to play but will have to.
We lack a shutdown first pairing guy. I expect us to offer a hundred 1st round picks for Yandle any day now.

I assume you know this, but Yandle doesn't have an elite shutdown game.
