How do the new additions fit into their new lineups for the following teams?

Florida
Toronto
Tampa Bay
Washington
Carolina
New Jersey??
NYR??

Winnipeg
Dallas
Colorado
Edmonton
Vegas
Minnesota??
LA??

For Florida, our board seems to think:

Verhaeghe-Barkov-Reinhart
Marchand-Bennett-Tkachuk
Luostarinen-Lundell-Rodrigues
Greer-Sturm-Boqvist

Nosek/Samoskevich/Gadjovich

**Top 6 could change but most FLA fans want to see that 2nd line :D**
**4th line will get many dance partners and auditions for final 20 games of regular season**

Forsling-Ekblad
Mikkola-Jones
Kulikov-Schmidt
Balinskis

**This should be the top 6 for Panthers all playoffs long**

Bob
Vanecek

**Vanecek just needs to play the rest of the back to backs in regular season so Bob isn't burnt out**

As a Wild fan, I am extremely flattered to be included in your group. But we aren’t contenders. Too many injuries and too little scoring depth. Can’t see us beating 3 of DAL, COL, WPG, VGK, EDM.

Next year, when we get Buium, Yurov and cap space will be a different story

East: Florida and Tampa are the only teams that scare me.
West: Central gauntlet basically. Jets, Stars, and Avs. whoever comes out of there vs FLA wouldnt surprise me at all.

Domi on top line, has this been happening already or more just about balancing the top 9?

Fair enough, if it makes you feel better, can you post a lineup if Minnesota was fully healthy then?

Jersey Cup contender? They might miss the playoffs.

I want to say that this is highly improbable but they need to win some games here.

Given their schedule they should win enough games but if one team is going to choke down the stretch it's NJ.

6 of their last 9 games have been against really good SC contending teams, the 3 games they should have won against other teams they did.

Based off last game

Connor Scheifele Vilardi
Perfetti Namestnikov Ehlers
NIno Lowry Appleton
Tanev Barron Iafallo

Morrissey Demelo
Samberg Pionk
Sigh Schenn (Hasn't played yet, but what we're expecting)

Hellebuyck

Going to need the core that has failed repeatedly to stay healthy and have the playoffs of their lives to go far.

Frederic will be in out bottom 6. Walman is on our third pair. Stu is still our goalie with Pickard still backing him. Our Ceci upgrade at 2RD is Brett Kulak who I love as a 3LD which is exactly where he played when we had him and Ceci on the same team a year ago. Apparantly, at 31 years of age, Kulak has gone from a great bottom pair left D to a top 4 RD. Amazing transformation!
 
Hmmmm based it off last games roster and assuming everyone is back healthy.

Pearson - Eichel - Stone
Saad - Hertl - Dorofeyev
Smith - Karlsson - Olafsson
Barbie - Howden - Kolesar


Theodore - Pietrangelo
Hanfin - McNabb
Whitecloud - Haugue (Honestly I've forgotten our healthy D pairings already :laugh:)

Hill
Samsanov/String dangling from the goalpost depending on what Samsanov shows up.

Raddysh will move up (or down, depending on who you ask) to the Eller line. Beauvillier will come in to the Dowd line. Frank will go to the press box. The real interesting question for the Caps lineup-wise is what if anything will happen when Leonard joins
 
Stars with everyone healthy come playoff time:

Robertson-Hintz-Rantanen
Marchment-Duchene-Seguin
Benn-Johnston-Granlund
Steel-Bourque-Dadonov
Bäck, Blackwell

Harley-Heiskanen
Lindell-Lyubushkin
Bichsel-Ceci
Dumba/Smith

Oettinger
DeSmith

Samberg on 2nd pair? He's had a great year I take it?
He has increased his TOI by nearly 6 mins a game since last season, very impressive.

Why is Barbashev where Pearson should be and vice versa?

Because right now that's whats working for us. Cassidy all tends to with pairs of forwards over full lines, so depending on how players are playing or what the team needs they play up and down the line up. Right now having Barbie on a big heavy forechecking line that runs over everyone else is what's helping the team.
