Line Combos: Your Regular Season Starting Line up

[Hi-wayman]

Burrows – Santorelli – Kassian
Higgins – Gaunce - Richardson
Archibald Weise

Hamhuis – Bieksa
Edger – Tanev
Garrison – Weber

Hansen's hustle and always moving suits the Sedins just like Burrows did a couple of years ago.

Schroeder and Santorelli are excellent playmakers who can feed our secondary scorers.

Gaunce earns a spot on the 4th line, but Richarson is also there as an extra back up to the centre position if needed

The three defence pairing are so close skill wise that 1st, 2nd and 3rd pairing is determined by who they are playing that night.

Lack and Erikson are both going to flourish over the coming seasons as Luongo is a far better mentor than Schnieder would have been. I personally always wanted to keep Luongo over Schnieder. Luongo will now be able to set league goalie records in the next couple of years and enter the Hockey Hall of Fame as a Canuck

*I'd let Jensen play in Booth's spot to start the season until he's back in the lineup.

*I'd let Shinkaruk play in Booth's spot to start the season until he's back in the lineup. So by that, I mean nine games.

Might be wishful thinking with Hunter & Gaunce, but they've shown they may belong & damn I'd like that bottom 6.

 

[Hi-wayman]

We will see who comes the closest.

twenty three man roster - starting roster for the first regular season game.

1 point if the player you predicted at least makes the starting line up (including the 3 backups).
2 points if that player actually plays on the line/pairing/bakup you predicted him on
3 points if that player plays exactly on the line/pairing/backup & in the exact position you predicted (i.e. LW/C/RW - LD/RD - Goal/back up goal - Pressbox reserve Backup)

Maximum points: 69.

Have fun - careful as a rookie could get a 10 game tryout and be on the opening game roster. If you are predicting. ID the starting player in each position. Player 1/Player 2 for one position doesn't count because you are hedging your bet. This is actually a lot tougher to predict then it looks.

Line up to look like so:

LW - C - RW
LD - RD
G1
G2

What's all this, 'until Booth is ready'.

I thought Booth was expected to play in the next preseason game?
