I know what you’re thinking: This forward group features game-breaking offensive talent, but are they gritty enough? Not yet, but we’re about to fix that. Let’s welcome a pair of heart-and-soul forwards to the lineup, with Boston’s Tanner Jeannot and Edmonton’s Trent Frederic. Jeannot makes $3.4 million on a five-year UFA deal from this summer that got rave reviews, while Frederic got the maximum eight years and $3.85 million from an Edmonton team with no other pressing needs. We’ll play them with Yakov Trenin, whose UFA deal with the Wild from last summer still has three years left at $3.5 million, which might feel a bit rich for 15 points of production, except that makes him the top scorer on this line.
