detroit guess
Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha
Zadina - AA - Vanek
Nyqusit - Nielsen - Rasmussen
Helm - Glendening - Abby
ex) Witkowski, Svech comes up once Nyquist is moved at the deadline
Green - DD/Daley
Hronek - DD/Daley
Ericsson/Jensen/Kronwall
Howard
Bernier
Based on the prospect tournament & 1 preseason game, I think they start Zadina in the AHL for now.
UPDATE: Mike Green was just diagnosed with a virus that attacks the liver &
is out indefinitely, unfortunately for him & our D.
Bert-Larkin-Mantha
Ras-Nielsen-Nyquist
Helm-AA-Vanek
Svechnikov-Glendening-Abby
Frk/Witkowski
W/O Green to start season...
DDK-Daley
Ericsson-Hronek
Kronwall-Jensen
Sulak
If/when Green comes back, they move Jensen asap, as reports indicated there was some interest by several GM's last year.
The only problem is Jensen & Green are our only currently established RHD...so replacing them with any of our upcoming LHD: Cholowski, Sulak, Hicketts isn't really an option. Saarijarvi is at least 1 year away. Ericsson played the m ajority of his career on the Right side, however it is not his natural position, nor strength, especially in the twilight of his career. Daley is a LHD who prefers the right side...
Daley's NTC is up at '19 TDL, so he'll be replaced by Cholowski.
FFWD TDL '19:
DDK-Green
Kronwall-Hronek
Cholowski-Ericcson
Sulak
Hicketts (1st callup)
