If Today was October 1st, Our Lineup is What? [for the GDT] *GDT already made*

[Daisy Jane]

I'd like to have the gameday up and finished ASAP

With Clarkson out, I'm going to assume Raymond's taking his spot.
I've got Colborne on the 4th line (wing), Ashton third line with Bolland, and Orr next to Mcclement.

I see Rielly up.

so we're looking at

Kessel-Bozak-JVR
Lupul-Kadri-Raymond
Kulemin-Bolland-Ashton
Colborne-McClement-Orr

Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Ranger-Gardiner
Franson-Fraser
Rielly

Reimer


yes?
no?

I feel like Kulemin might be on the 2nd line. Lupul/Kadri/Kulemin was a good line for a little while last year.

Also I feel like Devane might start the year on the 4th line not Colborne. Obviously that would be tough to do today with our current cap situation having 15 forwards on the roster(I don't think we dump Colborne on waivers) but I would argue that if today was October 1st then McLaren might be out long enough to actually go on LTIR so we could fit Colborne in as an extra forward and play Devane.

I don't think Rielly starts out as a 7th D. If we take him into the season with us I think he'll be in the lineup in game 1. Maybe Fraser drops out, Habs aren't that tough, with Devane/Orr he isn't a necessity for fighting or anything

Against the beefed up smurfs? Possibly.

For sure. If Rielly stays for his 9 games, he'll be getting primo minutes and PP time while he's here.

 

[BayStreetBullies*]

All I know is that Randy Carlyle would be assistant coach.

the way I'd like to see it...

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
JVR - Kadri - Raymond
Kulemin - Bolland - Ashton
Colborne - McClement - Orr


***after the 10 game mark, Clarkson fits in for Raymond who then replaces Ashton***
I'd like to see Colborne get a shot but he might be bumped for a goon like devane or broll

Phaneuf - Gunns
Franson - Gardiner
Ranger - Fraser

Liles

Reimer
Bernier

As per CBA, (IIRC) LTIR = > 9 games missed or 1 calendar month whichever comes first.

 

[Deebo]

As per CBA, (IIRC) LTIR = 9 games missed or 1 calendar month whichever comes first.

10 games or 24 days.

 

[Paradoc]

Meh, I still think we should give Bernier the start.

JvR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Raymond
Ashton-Bolland-Kulemin
McLaren(If injured then Devane)-McCLement-Orr

Gunarsson-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Ranger

 

[Porn*]

that makes sense too. well. subject to change. and all of that

I thought so lol.

at the 10 game mark if the top 6 are flying and scoring well, i'd drop clarkson on the 3rd with kulemin and bolland

 

[ECanuck]

JvR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Raymond
Ashton-Bolland-Kulemin
McLaren-McCLement-Orr

Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Fraser
Ranger

 

[Liminality]

JvR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Raymond
Ashton-Bolland-Kulemin
McLaren-McCLement-Orr

Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Fraser
Ranger

Probably this.

 

[The Podium]

Only way this lineup is possible is if Liles is traded, with demotion

If Liles is on the roster Rielly nor Ashton can stay, if Liles is demoted only one of them can stay...

 

[Grant]

thanks guys.

NOPE!

But if I had to guess....it would look like this:

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Bolland - Kulemin
Ashton - Kadri - Raymond
Orr - McClemant - Broll/Devane/McLaren

Gunner - Phaneuf
Fraser - Franson
Rielly/Gardiner - Ranger

Bernier
Reimer

 

[Jtabo]

For those saying that if Rielly is up he will be in the lineup, that may not be the case. I could see us doing something similar to what (I think it was Carolina) did with Murphy. They kept him up for 9 games but didn't play him. Just wanted to show him what the NHL routine was like.

okay i just put in SOMETHING. if by Monday night I hear official, I'll re do it (I've kept the master copy anyway) i really hope you guys like it!

[HellasLEAF]

I think the big question right now is Kulemin or Raymond on the 2nd line

 

[Twist and Shout]

Colborne doesn't deserve to be in it.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Colborne gone. Probably Devane on the 4th line now. Or Broll.

Off chance Leivo gets 3rd line while Ashton goes on the 4th after tonight but probably not
