News: 2018-19 Depth Charts

[caley]

Toronto's Depth chart needs to be updated with the inclusion of Nylander rejoining the roster.

No it doesn’t. He’s there already but since he’s not in line rushes, he’s listed with healthy scratches (I updated it last night, haha!).

Oilers without Chiarelli needs to be updated

 

[caley]

I've done a mid-season update of all forwards by what position they had played the most at the NHL and AHL levels this season.

How are my Red Wings doing at free agency?

 

[caley]

Players should all be on the right teams now. Line combinations will be updated in time.

Defence

Mark Giordano (05, LHD) - Rasmus Andersson (04, RHD)
Noah Hanifin (55, LHD) - Travis Hamonic (24, RHD)
Dalton Prout (06, RHD) - T.J. Brodie (07, LHD)
Oliver Kylington (58, LHD) - Oscar Fantenberg (03, LHD)
 -
 -
Juuso Valimaki (08, LHD) - Matt Taormina (--, LHD)
Andrew Nielsen (--, LHD) - Rinat Valiev (--, LHD)
Josh Healey (85, LHD) -
Marcus Hogstrom (46, LHD) -

Not to nitpick, but you're a bit off on CGY's D. Yes that's the top six they rolled in a recent game because of an injury to Kylington, but that's the only reason. The correct order for our D depth is actually


Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Valimaki - Stone*
Fantenberg - Prout

Prout and Fantenberg are our 9 / 10D

During the season I tend to use line combinations for depth because it’s just the easiest way of doing it. I update it semi-regularly so when the Flames change their pairings it will get back to normal

Are the Rangers using Brendan Smith on the wing?

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Jets have been running the following forward lines:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Hayes-Laine
Tanev-Lowry-Little
Perreault-Copp-Hendricks

PB: Lindholm/Roslovic
AHL:Appleton

The Hendricks insertion in lieu of Rolsovic has been going on the last two games. Maurice said this was due to our opponents playing "heavy." Roslovic should be back on the 4th line following Thursdays game. Appleton's been in the AHL for weeks.

And the following defensive pairings:

Beaulieu-Trouba
Chiarot-Niku (off side)
Kulikov-Myers

PB: Morrow/Kiselvich
IR:Byfuglien/Morrissey

Byfuglien was just activated off IR today & practiced in a full contact jersey. He's not playing Thursday, but is likely playing on the weekend. Morrissey still week to week. Kiselvich hasn't played a game since he was obtained. No AHL demotions are expected. Moose coach Pascal Vincent said over a month ago that Niku is now considered an NHL player & likely won't be returning even if the Moose make the playoffs. Perhaps that changes when the defence is healthy, but one should accept the organization at face value for the time being.

In goal:

Hellebuyck
Comrie

Comrie is a recent callup as Broissot pulled something two games ago. It's not seen as serious, so expect Comrie to be demoted following Thursday game.
