[Hobnobs]

Rasmussen will most likely be the LW on the third line this year. No idea who'll be the 4th line center. Veleno or one of the AHL-kids perhaps. With one of Berggren, Kostin and Fischer being a healthy scratch.

 

[DJB]

For the Sens we are likely going to see a top 4 D of Chabot, Zub, Chychrun and Sandy all playing together. Chychrun likely the other RD

I love this thread though thank you!!

 

[barriers]

Being waiver-exempt Sam Malinski is likely sent to the AHL. I'd wager Kurtis MacDermid starts the season as the Av's 7th D

and thanks for taking on this thread again!

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Thank you for taking this on once again @BonMorrison always helpful for fantasy hockey

The amount of work put into OP is appreciated.

I'll make this adjustment once Veleno signs!

and thanks for taking on this thread again!

Is there a chance they both make the team as extras? I moved MacDermid to be the 13th forward because I know he plays both positions and I've head a lot of Avs fans say Malinski is going to make the team (or at least are hopeful).

Yeah, don't take it as critique because you've done an excellent job. Just my own thoughts and input.

There's absolutely a chance but Malinksi has only played 14 games professionally, all in the AHL, and I think it's more likely he continues where he left off than not. MacDermid I would pencil in as the 7D over 13F if I had to pick and as 13F I'd go with Foudy but it's probably whoever has an impressive camp in the end.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Always the best thread on this site

 

[PettersonHughes]

Lol fairly certain Vancouver plays one of Soucy or Cole next to Quinn Hughes in Vancouver, but the rest of the lineup looks good. Thanks for the thread!

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Boston's bottom 6 really took a hit.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

great work OP

 

[DJJones]

I complete forgot we had Rooney. Sutter hated him but I guess maybe he could be 4C. Ruzicka would be my choice though

 

[SimpleJack]

That Hurricanes roster on paper is absolutely ridiculous. Chatfield can’t even break the lineup. The return of Svech + Bunting addition has them extra stacked at forward now too. Zero holes. They should be Cup favorites.

 

[BonMorrison]

Honestly was just guessing, if Ruzicka is 4C who would be 4LW? Rooney anyway?

Wasn't sure which of the Flames' minor league guys was ready for next year - Zary maybe?

I'd be surprised if coronato doesn't make the team. We need shooters

 

[Deas]

Great thread. Also good to see how most (at least) posters making corrections about the team they follow closely do so in a positive tone. It's virtually impossible to be certain of every player and likely line combination for all teams. So when someone makes the effort to gather an overview like this in one place it's nice to offer the corrections/updates in a positive tone.

 

[Silver Tuna]

Same with New Jersey. And Jersey has a stacked prospect pool as well.

I think you have the 3rd and 4th lines wrong.

Frederic-Geekie-Boqvist
Lucic-Brown-Lauko
X: Greer

I'd also wager Zboril gets waived so the Bruins can carry a 23 man roster, giving them another spare forward (McLaughlin?) and Mitchell as their spare D. Mac & Mitchell signed league minimum deals and if you waive Zboril you can fit both under the cap by about $20k. With Zboril they're stuck at 22 skaters.

 

[SimpleJack]

Same with New Jersey. And Jersey has a stacked prospect pool as well.

I’m not saying the Devils Dcore is bad….but it’s definitely not on the same level as the Canes. Severson and Graves played big roles and they have young talent to replace them but still, it’s not exactly a strength or backbone to rely on like the Canes blueline.

I will say though that the Devils do have better young top end talent at forward.

 

[gstommylee]

I doubt seattle plays with 8 dman. it doesn't do any good for one player just so be a healthy scratch just cause he's the 8th dman.

Also its TBD what Seattle's 4th line will be cause of the unknown of Wright's status.

 

[NetflixandPhil]

This looks pretty good.

The few adjustments I'd make:

BUF: Levi makes team over Comrie, likely starts
MTL: Dvorak off IR, Lindstrom to AHL
PIT: Guentzel off IR, Pitlick and Johnsson to AHL (Dubas has said Guentzel wont go on LTIR and they can only have a 22 man roster)
WSH: Phillips makes team, Snively and Johansen to AHL
ARI: Carcone makes team, Dermott to AHL
EDM: Pederson makes team, Lavoie to AHL
VAN: Wolanin makes team, Rathbone to AHL

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

This looks pretty good.

The few adjustments I'd make:

BUF: Levi makes team over Comrie, likely starts
MTL: Dvorak off IR, Lindstrom to AHL
PIT: Guentzel off IR, Pitlick and Johnsson to AHL (Dubas has said Guentzel wont go on LTIR and they can only have a 22 man roster)
WSH: Phillips makes team, Snively and Johansen to AHL
ARI: Carcone makes team, Dermott to AHL
EDM: Pederson makes team, Lavoie to AHL
VAN: Wolanin makes team, Rathbone to AHL

@BonMorrison

I was gonna post about Rathbone looking like a pretty good bet to not be long for the organization(Canucks) and Wolanin being a better guess to be on the third pairing, until this post I am quoting essentially beat me to it.

Cool thread! Thanks for the time spent.
