I thought about doing this at the end of July/start of August. Sutter was still on the team then and blah blah blah.
Now that I think the final roster is evident, it may be a good time to start this thread series. Series? Yes, series. I want a thread series where HFBoards selects what they feel is the best opening day lineup.
Some assumptions, as of 8/20/2015:
I will add more assumptions as the HFBoards lineup is decided. You don't like these assumptions? Too bad.
We shall start with Phil Kessel. Who does he play with? Crosby or Malkin?
Or Bonino?
Voting for this one shall last for two days.
Due to the assumptions, Hornqvist will be paired with whoever Kessel is not paired with.
Objections?
Current HFBoards Lineup:
XXX-Crosby-Kessel/Hornqvist
XXX-Malkin-Kessel/Hornqvist
XXX-XXX-XXX
XXX-XXX-XXX
XXX-Letang
XXX-XXX
XXX-XXX

Fleury

Should've done this during the Bylsma years and sent it to him.

Some assumptions, as of 8/20/2015:
- Crosby and Malkin are our top two centers and will not play wing.
- Fehr will not start the season.
- Phil Kessel is our best winger and is a right winger.
- Patric Hornqvist is a right winger.
- David Perron is a left winger.
- Scuderi is staying. So is Lovejoy.
- Dumoulin would not survive waivers and will stay in the NHL.
- Clendening, Erixson, and Andersen have a chance to pass through waivers and one will be the 6th or 7th defenseman.
- Sundqvist has a chance to start in the NHL.
- Fleury is the starting goalie.
- Letang is on the first D pairing on the right side.
