I don't envision a rookie in Lombardi getting top line usage already. Hirose is likely the guy on line one in my opinion eventhough I am not a fan of his.

Lombardi will have more freedom playing on the wing, especially if he plays with Kasper.

Biakabutuka signed 3-year ELC with the Blues... finally they got something from us.
We’ll get him back in a year or two.

I don't mind breaking in smaller guys on the wing. I think him hitting offensively for us is more important than him developing as a center so I'd rather he get more minutes on an offensive line at the AHL level.
With that said I don't think he is on the top line over Soder or Hirose right off the bat.
I'm with you if he when he is entering the NHL, but at AHL level, I want him as a center.

- Melovsky (try-out)
- Loukus (try-out)
- Sima (try-out)
- RD Andrew Gibson back to juniors OHL
- RD Josiah Didier (signed, 30y AHL vet)

Jus too many names to remember all. Insert him to Anisimov spot, if he is not signed.

Lombardi won't be a bottom 6 guy in GR. He and Kasper will be surrounded by vets in the top 6 I'd imagine.

There's no bottom6. It's a deep top9 offence like Wings have.
Surefire AHL contender with great New coaches.

Lethemon and Bednar will be Toledo goalies and only in GR if injuries hit. Bednar didn't even play well in the QMJHL, so he likely is an ECHL goalie at best.

Yeah my guess is pretty similar

Hanas-Ashton Reese-Soderblom
Lombardi-Esperance-Czarnik
Doucet-Stevens-Shine

I probably missed some call ups/send downs to Toledo.

You really think Detroit will like Kasper on line 3? Hana’s and Lombardi on line 4?
I sincerely doubt that the red/white lines are true indications of what GRGs are doing. This team wants to develop their kids, not turn them into AHL grinders.

I never care about line NUMBERS.
My finnish favourite team just won Championship by using the 4th line most, and they impacted most in the game results.
There's no any kind of order, just some combinations our coaching staff did put together.
I just wanted to inform, how much they have player material for use.
