Zadina as a RW or LW? He has a LH shot, but is listed as a RW, which I believe is what he is used to playing [his off-wing]. I'm curious to see what the RW's do with him.

Zadina- Larkin - Mantha
Bertuzzi- Z - Nyquist
Rasmussen - Nielsen - AA
Helm-Glendenning- Abdelkader

Dekeyser- Daley
Kronwall- Ericsson
Prospect - Jensen

Honestly, our forwards look "ok", but then you get to the D lol

DeKeyser - Faulk

[Hammettf2b]

I would like to see a lineup with Zadina and Mantha on separate lines

Nyquist - Larkin - Mantha
Bert - Z - Zadina
Ras - Nielsen - AA
Helm - Glendening - Abby

 

[datsyukfan]

I’m praying that we move nyquist/AA +svech +Jensen + 3rd for Justin Faulk, recoup a 2nd/3rd for helm @ 25% retained. Sign Vanek to a 2 year deal

Rass- larkin-mantha
Bertuzzi-Z-Zadina
Vanek- nielsen- AA/Nyquist
Abby-Glenny- frk

Kronwall-Hronek

[HisNoodliness]

Mantha-Larkin-Bertuzzi (The Big, The Fast and The Ugly)
Rasmussen-Z-Zadina (2 kids and a goat)
Nyquist-Nielsen-AA (Spare parts)
Abdelkader-Glendenning-Helm (The Grind Line's ugly stepsister)

Dekeyser-Daley (ew)
Kronwall-Ericsson (at least it's not a top line anymore)
Jensen-Hronek (hope!)
Sulak-Hicketts

Howard
Bernier (it's essentially a confirmed signing so I'm putting him despite the no UFA rule)

 

[HisNoodliness]

Zadina as a RW or LW? He has a LH shot, but is listed as a RW, which I believe is what he is used to playing [his off-wing]. I'm curious to see what the RW's do with him.

Yeah he's a LH shot that plays RW. I think he belongs there as he likes to cut to the middle and fire the puck on net with the better off-wing angle. With so many left shooters on our team I think it makes sense to let him play his off-wing. Someone has to, might as well be the guy that prefers it.

I like the idea of your 3 line, good for AA .He had good chemistry with BERT. Nielsen will give experience to that line and we have 2 more Rockies with Larkin and Zetterberg. Not sure about defence , I think Holland will make some changes there .We will see it in the week

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Zadina playing on the right wing is pretty much a given. He won’t be left side

Mantha Larkin Zadina
Ras Zberg Nyq
Svech Nielsen AA
Bert Helm Pope

Daley Hronek
Ddk Cholo

Ken Holland days F it, we will just try and outscore em

Jimmy
Osgood or other backup if he won't sign

Shinny hockey game was held to determine roster. I'm sure you will be surprised but LGD, Abs, and Ericsson were on the losing team. Sorry guys!

 

[Shaman464]

Zadina is much better on the first line than Ras, Zadina has proven more in the CHL at a younger age (having never played on NA ice before) than Ras. Ras is a fine addition to the second line though, but I would be much more interested in him getting a shot at third line center.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Think Zadina gets married to Zetterberg if he plays.

Actually I could see Rasmussen - Zetts - Zadina, much like the Zetts - Dats - Hull line.

Two kids and a goat.

I like it. Pretty much perfect roles, Zetterberg makes plays, Zadina snipes and Rasmussen screens the goalie/tips in, whacks the rebound in.

 

[Heaton]

Nyquist - Z - Mantha
Abdelkader - Larkin - Zadina
AA - Nielsen - Rasmussen
Helm - Glendening - Bertuzzi

No chance in hell both Rasmussen and Zadina play top 6 the entire year.

Sounds good in theory. I hope it works. I'll just be ecstatic if both make the team this year.

 

[Tatar Shots]

I'm hoping for 2 kids and a Goat with Ras-Z-Zadina. Let Ras cause havoc around the net and Z feed Zadina. Doubt it happens because Blashill is obsessed with putting Nyquist on Z's wing despite him not looking good there for an entire year.

I hope we see that on pre-season. But when regular season starts, we'll probably see Abdelkader and Nyquist there.

My guess is Nyqvist gets traded for a draft pick/prospect and Green resigns ...

Bert Z Mantha
AA Larkin Zadina
Ras Nielsen Abbs
Helm Glenn Svech

Green Hronek
DK Knonwall
Daley Ericcson (ugh)
Hicketts

Jimmy
FA signing (Bernier)

AA shouldn’t be anywhere near the 2nd line, he’s below both Ras and Abdelkader.
