I have 6 lineups in mind....
The opening night Lineup:
Schwartz-Schenn-Senko
Fabbri-ROR-Perron
Steen-Bozak-Thomas
Barbashev-Sundqvist-Soshnikov
Eddy-Petro
Dunn-parayko
Mikkola(until gunnar/jaybo are healthy)- Bortuzzo
Allen
Johnson
The Holy crap Thomas is sick Lineup:
ROR-Thomas-Senko
Schwartz-Schenn-Perron
Fabbri-Bozak-Steen
The rest the same
The Holy crap Fabbri is BACK lineup:
Fabbri-ROR-Senko
Schwartz-Schenn-Perron
Steen-Bozak-Thomas
The rest the same
Will edit and post the others later...gotta go lol....but they are called the "Holy crap fabbri and thomas are lighting it up Lineup", the "Kyrou isn't letting us send him down lineup" and the hopeful "WTF Fabbri, thomas and kyrou are all nasty lineup what do we do with this depth lineup, because we are stupidly good"
Here is the "Holy Crap Fabbri and Thomas are lighting it up lineup" extremely unlikely and not even sure if the 3rd line would work like that....but still.....
Fabbri-Thomas-Senko(the potential of this line excites the heck out of me)
Schwartz-Schenn-Perron
Steen-ROR-Bozak
The "Kyrou isn't letting us send him down lineup" I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THOMAS HERE!!!!!!!! WE ARE SO FRICKIN DEEP NOW!....if Kyrou or thomas or both can make big impacts we will have quality top9 players on our 4th line
Schwartz-Schenn-Tarasenko
Fabbri-RoR- Kyrou
Steen-Bozak-Perron
One thing i will say tho.....is we have so much scoring ability throughout our lineup, the toughest thing for me is finding who our PK forwards will be....I'd say top PK unit should be Steen and sundqvist(i know u guys hate him, but he's fantastic defensively and will be willing to block shots etc..) and then ROR(don't want him as our top pk guy until playoffs and maybe barbashev?
The reason i don't like having nolan/thorburn(obvi)/ jaskin on the 4th line for us is solely because i don't trust any of them as PK guys (soshnikov i have no idea if he can kill or not, i like his speed and tenacity tho) and i sure as heck don't want our horses being used on the PK throughout the whole year. I'm a firm believer in having 4th liners that atleast kill penalties, because solely playing 8 mins a night and not killing penalties, seems like a wasted roster spot IMO...other than the rare occasion you dress a thorburn type when u know a tough regular season game is coming up whether a rivalry game or a 2nd game after something crazy happened the first game etc...etc.... u get my point..
So unless bozak is our 4C(due to thomas and Kyrou) I really want to see Sundqvist get an opportunity to run with it and see if he can continue to develop and make some plays(I really think he's vastly underrated on these boards) while continuing to be the smart responsible defensive player he is. Not for nothing, i know a lot of it was due to our top line and our D scoring....but we were the best team in the league last year while sundqvist was our 3C....and he was playing with paajarvi and jaskin LOL...can't really expect him to produce offensively in that situation ya know.
