That could very well be the top nine to start the year.
Some combination of Blandisi, Wood, Boyle, Coleman, Noesen, Hayes, or Lappin for the fourth line.
Has there been any word on Boyle's time line for a return? Or any type of schedule at all?
Only that he plans on playing opening night according to Boyle himself.
Well he needs to get into a game if he wants to make opening night no?
I wouldn't be opposed to trying these out for a stretch...
Hall-Zacha-Palmieri
Johansson-Hischier-Stafford
Henrique-Blandisi-JQ
The top two lines are the lines for PEI tomorrow.
Ah yes. I really think Blandisi has played well enough to earn a spot. I guess he's my new random fanboy crush. Usually they don't turn out well so hopefully this does
