Post-lockout Lineup

[Dagistitsyn]

I thought Prust was always a winger? Anyone know how he is on faceoffs / playing center?

Last year he took 5 and won 3.
2010-2011 took 9 won 4
2009-2010 took 31 won 13

 

[Myron Gaines*]

Its looking a lot more likely that Prust will be the 4th C rather than White. At least to start.

I wouldn't come to that conclusion, remember Plekanec is not practicing yet.

If Prust is practising at C with Plekanec out and White isn't, it seems likely that's the first thing they are going to try. Not that they are necessarily going to keep with it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

MT made it clear in his PC he loves versatility from his forwards and he's wanted to try Prust at C since the summer to see what the result would be.

 

[WestIslander]

Now that Gomez is gone!

I would never keep Gallagher especially on the 4th line.

[That Habs Fan]

damn, desharnais shrunk an inch in the offseason and is now completely gone

 

[Myron Gaines*]

Who are the four centres with Plekanec gone?

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Go Habs!! Eller!! Hope Palushaj gets better soon.

Reports indicate that Gally is looking really good and this team could you an injection of talented youth.

I thought he would play his 5 games and go back to Sarnia. I know it's early, but I'm hoping that he actually makes the team.

I like these forward lines:

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Cole
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Gionta
Bourque - Eller - Armstrong
Moen - Prust - White

Can't wait until Saturday.

 

[overlords]

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Cole
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Gionta
Moen - Eller - Bourque
Prust - White - Armstrong
Noke/Dumont

Markov - Emelin
Gorges - Subban
Boullion - Diaz
Kaberle/Weber

Pleks is versatile, but maybe not THAT versatile.

 

[Myron Gaines*]

Pleks is versatile, but maybe not THAT versatile.

Not THAT much cardio either.

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

Who are the four centres with Plekanec gone?

In practice they had DD, Eller, Prust and White as the Cs. Plekanec likely pushes the last 3 back so Prust is final center and White is the spare C/4th RW

But I'd figure that for Galchenyuk, Eller, Prust and White, where you play in the starting lineup is going to depend somewhat on camp.

 

[WestIslander]

I think Galchenyuk is going to make the team even though I would want him to go back to the Juniors and develop through the AHL.

So...

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Cole
Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Gionta
Bourque - Eller - Armstrong
Moen - White - Prust

Markov - Emelin
Subban - Gorges
Kaberle - Bouillon

Price
Budaj

Extras: Nokelainen, Leblanc, Weber and Diaz

I hope Subban get's signed!!!

How long in the AHL? You do realize that a full year in the AHL would mean we wouldn't see Gally with the big club until the 2015-2016 season?

14-15 actually… But yeah, pretty sure he's way closer than that
