Parayko on the second pairing, while Edmunson is the third????????
On what planet does that make sense?
Maybe the planet where they're looking to manage Edmundson's minutes?
Edmundson has only played 4 games since returning from injury, and only one of those was more than 19:10 total ice time, even though he's seeing a lot of PK time on average, as well.
With Bouwmeester's nearly 21 minutes/game out, including his PK time (He's 2nd on the team in shorthanded ATOI), I think you'll see plenty of time to be shared with Schmaltz, Dunn, and Edmundson (I don't see much increase in Pietrangelo or Parayko, they're already #1 and #2 respectively in ATOI). Borts, to me, is the wild card. Will he play more than 10-11 minutes? If not, I think PIetrangelo gets the extra ES ice time.
I expect to see the pairings run fairly evenly 5-on-5 (Depending on Bortuzzo), with the PP time going to Dunn, Pietrangelo, Parayko, and maybe some for Schmaltz and/or Edmundson, and the PK to be mostly Pietrangelo, Edmundson, Borts and Parayko.
