October 2019: Opening night Line-up predictions

What do you guys predict the roster will look like in October 2019 on opening night?

Here’s what I think:

Ferland-Pettersson-Boeser
Roussel-Horvat-Leivo
Eriksson-Gaudette-Virtanen
Motte-Beagle-MacEwan

Schaller

Edler-Stecher
Hutton-(farm/UFA/Gudbranson)
Hughes-Tanev

Brisebois

Markstrom
Demko

1) I predict that our big free agent signing will be Michael Ferland.
2) Goldobin will be traded for a pick at the draft.
3) Benning will find a way to move Sutter but with some significant retention.
4) Gaudette and MacEwan make the team
5) None of our other forward prospects make the team next year.
6) Baertschi retires
7) Granlund, Gaunce, and Pouliot are let go.
8) If the Canucks can clear enough cap space, they’ll go after a RD (Myers?), but will likely end up promoting one of Woo, Chatfield, or another RD within the system.
9) Edler is extended. $6.25 million AAV for 3 years.
10) Juolevi starts in Utica.
11) Boeser will get $7.5 million AAV for 8 years.
12) Benning will move Gudbranson if a deal can be made or IF someone in the farm is ready to step up on that right side. Significant retention will be required.
13) Benning might try and find way to move or demote Eriksson if he needs the cap space.

That's an ugly looking lineup. I don't think we go into next season with Leivo or Roussel in the top 6. Predict we'll sign a UFA like Silfverberg or Nyquist and overpay to do so. Also, I think Dahlen will take Goldobin's place next season. And will go out on a limb and predict if we don't get a top 3 pick in the lottery we'll trade up and either wind up with the #1 Hughes or take Bryam in the top 5. I'm certain Aquilini will demand a big splash at the draft this season.

OP's lineup is ugly.

Got dammmnn. You're right. Benning is going to go overpay for some middling UFA wingers.

Matching 5.5 x5s for Ferland and XXXX?

@Cancuks @bossram

Feel free to post your line ups and what YOU think will happen. By the way - I agree with you guys.

Like I said though - this isn’t about what you think should happen........this thread is about what you think WILL happen.

Predictions are for gypsies.

I would probably go hard over someone like Karlsson. I'll give it a 99.9% chance of not happening, but we have the cap space to do it, and there's certainly a need for a presence like that on our power play. It might be a mistake by year 7 though.

We're definitely going to be active July 1st though, and maybe in ways we weren't quite expecting.
