Not what I believe the lines will be, but what I think could keep the better but not ready for big minute players healthy and fresh enough for a playoff push.
DeGrazia-Goyette-Musty
Boudreau-Larmand-MacCallum
Delic-Villneuve-Konyen
Walton-Pharrand-Assadourian
I disagree with your proposed lineup for the following reasons:
1. Why would you change your first line from last year in Goyette/Konyen/Delic. They had great chemistry.
2. Your proposed 2nd line was a combined -48 last year and 2 of those players didn't even hit 30pts, while playing major minutes. Those type of #'s from your 2nd line will not win you many games. These guys are also all '03's, so why invest so heavily in them when they’re this bad.
3. Your '05 group is very strong. Not only do you have Musty, who should be the cornerstone of your franchise, but you also have Pharrand, who you’ve invested heavily in. He didn’t score much but has shown lots of promise and is 2 years younger. You also have Assadourian, who finished with more points than 2 of the guys on your second line, finished in the top 10 in '05 scoring. Both of these guys need to be a part of your future and you have them both slotted on the 4th line?
