Forwards
First line: Tyler Bertuzzi-Dylan Larkin-Lucas RaymondThey clicked right away last season, only to be broken up so Bertuzzi could spark another line. Larkin brings speed and sound defensive play, Bertuzzi has a knack for scoring around the net and Raymond has a flair for finding openings.
Second line: Jakub Vrana-Andrew Copp-David Perron
Third line: Dominik Kubalik-Pius Suter-Filip Zadina
Fourth line: Joe Veleno-Michael Rasmussen-Oskar Sundqvist
Defense pairings
Top pair: Ben Chiarot-Moritz SeiderYzerman signed Chiarot for four years and $19 million.
