Zib , Panarin , Strome , Chytil, Laf, Kreider , Kakko , Kravtsov…..can we agree they all could be used in that spot?

bottom 6, Goodrow, Blais , Reaves , Rooney, Hunt
Gauthier kinda lost in the shuffle again likely

Yeah, this seems about right. I guess Goodrow is on the 3rd line and Rooney centering the 4th. That still leaves 8 guys for the 6 skill spots and Chytil likely looking at the 3rd line again. Hard to see how it all makes a ton of sense.

Feel like Barron will earn a spot, but no issue if he gets big minutes in Hartford early.

Gauthier and Hajek will go for like 6-7 rounders or just wind up on waivers at the end of camp.

I have no doubt Barron has a full time roster spot on this team. What I’m not sure about is if he’ll be C or wing. what I am sure about is we def have a trade looming for Jack Eichel or another C. Way too many guys right now. I also think Blais gets a look on Panarins RW

LaF-Zibby-Kakko/ Kravtsov

Panarin-??/ Strome/Trade- Blais/Kravtsov

Kreider—Barron/Chytil/Goodrow/ - Kravtsov /Goodrow/Kakko

???/Barron/ Richards/ Blais-Rooney-Reaves
Extra - Gauthier

strome and Chytil are the most likely to go in a large trade package. Georgiev is also gonzo.

Lindgren- Fox
Miller-Trouba
Nemeth-Lundkvist

Without any further moves I’d like to see
Panarin-Chytil-Kravtsov
Lafreniere-Mika-Kakko
Kreider-Strome-Goodrow
Blais-Barron/Rooney-Reaves

Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Nemeth-Lundkvist

Still hope to see some moves made at center, but that should be a playoff team.

Panarin strome Goodrow
Kreider Zibs Kappo
Laf Chytil Krav
Hunt Rooney Blais

I know it sounds and looks crazy but I just have an odd feeling Goodrow plays way up in the line up.

I would lIke to have opening lineup like this:
Lafreniere-Zibanejad-Kakko (kids get the best center available to reach their potential)
Panarin-Strome-Goodrow (Goodrow was signed to play with the best duo)
Kreider-Chytil-Kravtsov (kreiders fate-checking line lw)
Blais-Rooney-Hunt (baron, reaves will be inserted from time to time)
Lindgren-Fox
Miller-Trouba
Nemeth-Lundqvyst
Shesterkin

This is about right and not a bad team

Barron needs to play minutes and nightly. Until a trade or two open something up you'd have to expect he opens in Hartford. Spotting him in sporadically on the 4th line is absolutely nuts. Other than that nitpick, this looks interesting. I've personally given up on Chytil, but then I had given up on Buchnevich. Also I gave up on Kreider. Then became enamored of Kreider. Then gave up on him again. So.......

Laf - Zib - Kakko
Panarin - Strome - Kravtsov
Kreider - Fil - Goodrow
Blais - Rooney - Reaves
Hunt

I think that or

Laf-Zib-Krav
Panarin-Strome-Blais/Goodrow
Kreider-Chytil-Kakko
Blais/Goodrow-Rooney-Reaves

Krav did show he can play a 200 ft game and forecheck so maybe he becomes the perfect piece for Panarin and Strome, but actually has talent.

Hunt Rooney Blais

If Strome is still here, I think there's a very good chance Goodrow plays with Panarin and Strome, as he fills the Fast role. I'm expecting at least one more move though, other than trading Georgiev.

Strome, Georgiev, Hajek, 2022 lottery protected 1st for Dvorak and a 2022 2nd.
