Hello and welcome to a new season of line-up fun! As with every year, I'm not perfect. I built this on my own speculation plus digging around the sub-forums of your respective teams. If needs fixing, let me know and I'll follow whatever seems to be most consistent with those amongst your fanbase. I think I got all the major injuries but if I missed any, please flag.

Hello and welcome to a new season of line-up fun! As with every year, I'm not perfect. I built this on my own speculation plus digging around the sub-forums of your respective teams. If needs fixing, let me know and I'll follow whatever seems to be most consistent with those amongst your fanbase. I think I got all the major injuries but if I missed any, please flag.

I think a great tool to use is frozenpool most common linemates at even strength for teams that have the same coaches. You kind of pick up on coaches tendencies like Staal and Martinook being glued together, or Tourigny liking the Schmaltz-Hayton-Keller line in Utah (that was their #1 line for years in Arizona) - sticking with what works and sliding Peterka on the top line with the two young stars is what I would imagine they try first.

Teams that have new coaches is whatever, they don't even know what the lines are gonna be themselves.

And well in general most teams put on the blender at times anyway so it's all good, no one should read these like the bible.

Yeah I’ve been doing this for a decade (wtf) here now and definitely will clue in to things like guys being stapled together. It felt wrong to split up Staal and Martinook but it also felt weird putting Hall or Blake (especially after big contract) on the 4th line. RE: Utah/Arizona, that has been the line for a few years but back half of last season they put Keller with Cooley and Guenther and they were very good together which makes me think they’ll do it again!

For the Sens Nick Jensen is scheduled to miss the first 10-20 games of the season due to a hip surgery and I wouldnt be surprise to see Yakemchuk starts the first 9 games in Ottawa. Also, I highly doubt that the 3rd line of Greig-Pinto-Amadillo is broken up after being a top 3 shutdown line last year according to analytic numbers. But seriously in my opinion anything can happen with the forwards other, than this 3rd line.

 

[waitin425]

Dallas is in my opinion the strongest team on paper. Not really close either.

Let's see what they can do on the ice!

 

[Mrfenn92]

Will say for Chicago Rinzel will be on the big team and leshunov might be in the Ahl

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I would be shocked if Linus Karlsson wasn't in the Canucks line up and I'd put him in over Kravtsov as of now.

Kane-Pettersson-Boeser
DeBrusk-Chytil-Garland
Hoglander-Raty-Sherwood
O'Connor-Blueger-Karlsson
(Sasson)

Hughes-Hronek
M. Pettersson-Myers
Forbort-E. Pettersson
(Willander, Joseph)

Demko
Lankinen

that is my best guess as of now.

I've been struggling on figuring out who of Bains, Aman, Sasson. and now Kravstov and Karlsson is going to make the final 23 man team!

Karlsson for sure. 1 way contract and they have already mentioned him a few times as being able to replace Joshua. He's ready for the NHL for sure. I think Sasson will make it too as he is on a one way.

Aman is just a waste of space at this point, imo. Bains was signed to a two way this year and a one way next year so I think he will be a call up for now and Kravtsov I am not sure on... not overly familiar but they have room to carry him as well so we will see!

 

[kimzey59]

Obviously early and very subject to change but I want to make a minor correction on the Blues.
Army has already announced that Mailloux is getting first dibs on the 3rd RD spot. Kessel is slated to be the 7th D/healthy scratch.

And I'm sure there will be more changes once the training camp roster comes out. We fully expect to see some PTO's brought in to camp and nobody is really sure what our middle 6 will look like offensively. Army mentioned Suter possibly playing with Holloway/Kyrou(which would likely make Schenn the 3rd line center): by all appearances, the coaching staff preferred Sunqvist and Joseph to Texier(although; Army was VERY high on Texier); there's a lot of talk that Carbonneau could get the 9 game trial before going down; and Dvorsky is VERY close to NHL ready.
(All of which means the 3rd line is completely up in the air after Neighbours)
But I'm content to wait until camp to see how those things shake out.
For now, Mailloux instead of Kessel is the one I take a bit of issue with.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Great job Bon (as always).

 

[Remparts666]

Gritsyuk definitely starts in the NHL for NJ devils.

 

[Number 57]

For Montreal, Laine is more likely to be in the top-6 than the fourth line, especially since he seems to be having a great off-season and is looking healthy.

Personnally I think this is the year Gallagher really regresses and plays mostly 4th line/extra attacker, but I could be wrong.

As for spares, you could add Blais/Kapanen/Beck up front, Reinbacher on D and Kahkonen in nets.

Thank you!

That Anderson - Dvorak - Gallagher line was fantastic last year, is the thought that they're not gonna do it again with Evans?

I can't fit all those spares under a 23 man roster, who would all be sent down to fit them in? Dobes, Roy, and Xhekaj?

That line was ''good'' for like 2 months (not fantastic lol), rest of the year Anderson and Dvorak were awful

Gallagher has had a resurgence the past 2 seasons, but he was looking on his last legs before that. At his age and with his style of play, he is looking more at 4th line duties.

I did not realize you were going for max 23 guys. Blais and Kapanen probably stay before Roy and Beck.

They'll probably try to give Reinbacher some games this year, but as now, he doesn't fit the 23 man roster.

 

[finaliz3d]

I would recommend changing Bostons' D-pairs to:

Lohrei-McAvoy
Lindholm-Peeke
Zadorov-Jokiharju

As for why, Zadorov-McAvoy were together to start the year last year, but in the games leading up to when McAvoy got injured in February, we had switched to Lohrei-McAvoy. And for good reason given it was our best offensive pair on a rate basis (okay technically 2nd in CF/60, second to Oesterle-McAvoy funny enough), and surprisingly solid defensively. Lohrei-Peeke on the other hand was really, really bad last year. Zadorov was alright with McAvoy, but was much better with Jokiharju to close the year so it makes sense to keep those two pairs together.

This of course means Lindholm-Peeke being together which is... kind of gross, but out of necessity.

NOTES

1) This document is a reflection of the opening day lines. After a team plays their first game, it will reflect the day prior.

2) LW/RW & defensive sides are in effect as well as 23 player rosters. Injured/Unavailable and scratched players will be noted. Players on LTIR for the whole season are not listed; only ones who are expected to return are.

3) Please remember this is an ever-evolving document - be constructive with any concerns or issues and I will address and update as the year goes on.

Changed to the best of my knowledge.

McGroarty will start in WBS. He's not on the active roster at the moment.

There's also the possibility of more moves made. New head coach and more so there's really nothing etched in stone but line #1 with Rakell, Crosby and Rust.

Thanks for all the hard work....

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Now that Rossi signed and will be playing C for the Wild - where does Yurov fit?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good job as always

 

[Grouch]

Now that Rossi signed and will be playing C for the Wild - where does Yurov fit?

Prob don't want him as 4C......so could be either put him at 3C and move Hartman to 4C with Hinostroza out, or if MoJo is bad, then 3C with Hartman to wing and MoJo out.
