Where is the spot for him if we know that Gallant doesn’t want to play kids on Line 4 ? There isn’t a center spot for him (yet) and there definitely isn’t a LW spot for him either.
Line Combos: So right now, what even are our lines?

Barron Jones Schneider Robertson Cuylle Richards Reunanaen all being in Hartford together under Knoblauch for a year will pay dividends for the team down the road. If Pajuniemi & Henriksson join them, even better. Tampa built their pipeline of depth by developing guys in Syracuse

Kreider - Zib - Kakko
Panarin - Strome - Kravtsov
Laf - Chytil - Goodrow
Reavers - Rooney - Blais
At least for the start. Kreider deserves to be in the top 6. I don’t take his mediocre year during a COVID season that much into account. I think he’ll recover. If he doesn’t, we have options to move him down and use one of the young guys to get bumped up.

I'm not disagreeing, but this is the reality with prospects. He'll get top line minutes in AHL and lots of call-up chances with the big club, but unless he absolutely steals the spot from Rooney in camp, he'll have one more year of call-ups before he's full time. It's just the nature of the game.

If not traded first, Barron will not be waiver eligible, he's not making the NHL team unless they lose forwards by some other trade or by injury. Jones too but on D.
On forwards if unchanged it will come down to which of Hunt or Gauthier to waive. (as in they are not risking losing Rooney to waivers)

Panarin-Strome-Kravstov
Laf-Chytil-Goodrow
Blais-Rooney-Reaves/Gauthier/Barron/etc
I really don’t think we’re done. You would think a trade is in the works, but then again we all thought that last week too.
I also don’t think Kreiders spot in the Top 6 is secure if Laf breaks out in a big way.

If we're making lineups based on the current roster, it makes sense. I'm also under the mindset Strome is more than likely moved. I expect more moving parts, as we have too many players at the moment
but I rather have a kid like Barron playing with a Goodrow than getting topline minutes in the AHL.

It should present itself in due time
from piecing together all the Brooksie musings, it sounds like Kravtsov is being dangled for another Center. Strome is most likely gone. Kreider or Laf are moving to the Right Wing.

I don’t think either Kreider or Lafreniere goes RW

Not saying Laf shouldn't be on first line but if he gets first pp min would it be the worst thing to have him on the third line to start? I mean that third line should be decent and still get plenty of 5 on 5 time. He would still wind up with plenty of Total ice time.

Am curious for others views - if they knew they could get Reaves, aren't we a better team THIS year with buch on a 1 year arb award (say 5M)? trade him at the deadline if you really want Eichel next year. Also the Eichel NMC kicks in next year so if he really only wants what he wants (and it is NYR) then buffalo is more screwed than they are now with everyone being capped out.
As for this year's lines i'm going with the Lionheart forward lines above. lundkvist makes the team as third pair with nemeth, hajek extra. almost $10M in cap - you don't get to roll it over so its a waste to leave it open for this year .

Agreed. I still don’t understand why we traded Buch if we could have him on a 5-5.5m deal. He’d still hold value later. We could have had this same trade package or similar next offseason.

I think it's just more likely that Laf doesn't get top PP minutes but Kreider does. He makes his money net front on the PP. His production probably doesn't drop that much playing 5v5 with Chyil and Kravtsov and being on the top PP. Lafreniere probably benefits more from the 5v5 minutes and playing with Zib rather than more kids.
Where is Chytil? Nevermind, you've got Chytil and Kravtsov going to Buffalo.
In that case, I'd go:
Laf - Zib - KK
Bread - Eich - Blais
Kreider - Goodrow - Barron/Gauthier
Hunt - Rooney - Reaves/Gauthier
Unless Barron really shows up looking like he's ready for 3C duty, that's better depth. Blais has shown he can fit in with talent in brief stints when St. Louis had lots of injuries and with Eich and Panarin all he has to do is bang bodies and retrieve pucks, which he's good at.

My feeling with a new coach is that we're gonna start the season rolling Zibs with Panarin and then see if other lines come be a net positive.

So are we keeping Strome on the first unit? Shoot me!
Kreider

I'd guess we will to start. I'm hoping to see some different looks over the year, but I imagine that unit stays intact for now.
