I have no clue right now about what the lines will be...
But I am envisioning (in my mind) something like:
Lucic - Krejci - Gagne
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Fraser - Soderberg - Eriksson
Paille - Kelly - Robins
Is that about right for who actually plays? Who else is there? I know there is Campbell who won't be ready to start the year and Pastrnak who will be heading back to Sweden...and Spooner might be around a lot.
I guess Florek, Griffith and Cunningham can be called up at anytime...
Reason I put Gagne on the 1st line is he is a scorer and reminds me a bit of Horton at times with his size and skills.
Can flip Fraser and Paille depending on needs...as well as Eriksson and Gagne.
What I don't see in this set of forwards is anything "DYNAMIC" - the kinds of skills Spooner and Pastrnak "could" bring. Might need to make a trade for a winger with this kind of skill, but more experience. Maybe Khoko is the answer? Anyone have an opinion on how he has looked?
Assuming the Bs might start the year with 11 forwards and 7 d...might Krug play forward in game 1? Will Krug see any more games at forward?
