That ... actually doesn't look too bad. Though I think Westgarth will get the token enforcer 13th/14th forward role.

I really, really would prefer Yakupov play on the top two lines and have a Pouliot and Purcell as 3rd wingers but he just hasn't been great...

Opening Night:

Hall-RNH-Eberle
Perron-Draisaitl-Yakupov
Pouliot-Arcobello-Purcell
Hendricks-Gordon-Joensuu
Pitlick

As much as I've liked Yakimov's game, I think he would immensely benefit from playing top line minutes in the AHL to hone his offensive skills. If he's killing it mid-season in the AHL, call him up. Use Arcobello as a stop gap.

Nurse-Fayne
Marincin-Petry
Ference-Schultz
Aulie

Give Nurse his 9 games. This is a particularly easy decision given Nikitin's injury. When Nikitin is ready to return, make a decision as to whether Nurse is ready. We need to see him in some regular season games. I really don't think he will look out of place. In the end, he will likely be sent back. But giving him that exposure to regular season NHL games could help him identify the areas he needs to work on to succeed in the NHL. Then he can dedicate himself to working on those areas for a year.

Start Klefbom in the AHL. He'll be the first call-up for injuries. If he really impresses in the first 20-30 games, then make some moves to bring him up.

I like the majority of this but I'd still change a few things...unless MacT can make a move for a C.

Hey guys. Need to ask a quick question. When it comes time for regular season, Perron. Where will he play? I'm trying to make decisions for my fantasy team. Thanks!

After the last two games I have a feeling J.J will be on the opening night roster. Eakins has been impressed with him.

So 2nd/3rd line?
Click to expand...

Perron will spend most of the year on the 2nd line I'd assume but he played a lot of positions in the top 9 last year and was pretty consistent.. I would think he's going to be a 50-60 point scorer again.
