Lazar is the first replacement in. Hopefully for Bouma after he get's banged up with a heroic but damaging game one.
Too many left handed skill guys. Too many right handed energy guys.

Ovechkin Backstrom Oshie
Johansson Kuznetsov Williams
Connelly Eller Burakovsky
Wilson Beagle Winnick
Orlov Niskanen
Alzner Carlson (this is the 1% of doubt)
Orpik Shattenkirk
If no Carlson, Schmidt slots in with Orpik and Shattenkirk moves up with Alzner.

Assuming Zaitzev/Polak are healthy and Nylander/Brown may be switched, but those are the lines they were rolling in practice.

Acciari will be back in over Schaller once healthy

Krug is going to miss some time and Carlo is going to miss at least game one. Replace Liles with Krug and shift Colin Miller down. Hopefully McAvoy adjusts quickly.

Realistically shouldn't it be:
Panarin-Anisimov-Kane
Schmaltz-Intangibles-Panik
Hartman-Kruger-Hossa
Hayden-Kero-Tootoo
Considering that Kane and Panarin have finished 1st and 2nd in even strength ice time per game the past 2 seasons?

It doesn't really matter, those lines have two different jobs. I think most consider the Toews line the top line because it takes on much tougher matchups.

We literally face the exact same problem as the Flames, too many RHS skilled guys and too many LHS energy guys. We would make perfect forward trade partners lol.
Let's see how we face up against the Hawks:
Top 6:
Offensively: Hawks. Hawks have Panarin and Kane nuff said. Toews is also good offensively, and so is Anisimov. Preds have a little more depth offensively, but the edge definitely favours the Hawks.
Defensively: Honestly I'd say a draw on this one. Defensively, Toews is easily the best in the top 6 and it isn't even close. However Kane is a below average defensive winger, while Schmaltz, Panik, and Panarin are above average at best. Anisimov is good, but not amazing. Whereas all but Fiala is above average at worst in the Preds top 6, with Jarnkrok and Forsberg being the two best defensive players on the team. But none of them are elite or anything like that, and really don't stand out that much defensively.
Bottom 6:
Offensively: Preds. Preds have far more depth offensively in their bottom 6 than the Hawks do, and it really isn't close. Hossa is the Hawks best offensive guy in their bottom 6, and also the best offensive player in both team's bottom 6, but other than him their depth offensively is poor.
Defensively: Hawks. The Hawks two best defensive forwards in Kruger and Hossa are in their bottom 6, while the Preds bottom 6 really doesn't know the definition of defense except for Fisher who used to be elite but has a lost a big step. Hawks definitely fine the defensive aspect here.
Top pairing defense:
Offensively: Preds AINEC. Nothing more needs to be said, Josi and Ellis are deadly in production in the Ozone, even though Keith and Hjalmarsson are better at controlling their entries and exits.
Defensively: Hawks AINEC. Hjalmarsson is the best defensive player in the league and Keith is elite in that category as well, whereas Ellis is near elite and Josi is above average defensively, Hawks easily win this one.
Second pairing defense:
Offensively: Preds AINEC to infinity. Nothing more needs to be said when your 2nd pairing is Ekholm and Subban. Oduya and Seabrook are a joke offensively compared to the Preds 2nd pairing.
Defensively: Preds. This one is much closer, but the edge still goes to the Preds especially since Ekholm is the Preds best defensive player, and is the best defensively out of the 2nd pairing for both teams.
Bottom pairing:
Offensively: Hawks AINEC. Yeah no explanation needed.
Defensively: Hawks. Again no real explanation needed.
Goalies:
Stopping the puck: Hawks. Crawford and Darling are both elite goalies when it comes to stopping the puck and both boost some of the best rebound save percentages in the league the last couple of years. Conversely every Nashville goalies since the beginnning of time (Aka 2010) are usually among the bottom in rebound save percentages.
Non-traditional goalie abilities (Freezing, tracking, controlling, moving, etc. the puck): Preds. Prior to this season, it would have been Preds AINEC, this season it's closer, but Preds still have the major advantage, as Rinne is one of the league's elites in puck freezing, and puck movement. Saros is learning from his footsteps as well. Crawford and Darling prior to this season would have been a complete reversal of the Preds goalie duo abilities. It's closer now though, but still massively in the Preds favour.

Go Hawks !
Toews is Hawks 1C and his line is always the Top line (regardless of his wingers) and it's always first puck drop line (at least in home games).It has nothing to do with TOI or points.

I wouldn't put any stock in that.
Lucic-RNH-Eberle have been the line the Oilers have been starting at puckdrop the last several games.
