Montreal
We're inching closer and closer to opening day. Injuries have been happening, and prospects have been knocking on the door. When all is said and done, who will be on the ice in game 1?

Montreal is shaping up to be -

Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Roy-Dach-Armia
Newhook-Dvorak-Anderson
Pezzetta-Evans-Gallagher
ABB, Heineman

Matheson-Guhle
Hutson-Savard
Xhekaj-Struble
Barron

Montembeault-Primeau

IR: Laine, RHP

Newhook will very likely be on Dach's line, and Pezzetta won't be in the top 12. One of Heineman or Kapanen will be in the top 12.

San Diego

After they return from Prague, I'd guess that Bowers/White/Daws will get sent down to the AHL. Kevin Labanc played okay on a PTO, but they'd have to cut somebody if they wanted to sign him. Luke Hughes will miss a month+ to start and Santeri Hatakka missed this trip due to injury. Team sounds hopeful that Brett Pesce will be ready to go for the home opener on the 10th. We'll see if Seamus Casey sticks around when Pesce is cleared.

PP1: Meier-Hischier-Bratt-J.Hughes-Hamilton
PP2: Tatar-Haula-Noesen-Palat-Casey

Anaheim still has some decisions to make, but I’m guessing it looks something like

Gauthier - Carlsson - Killorn
Zegras - McTavish - Terry
Vatrano - Strome - Fabbri
Mcginn - Gaucher/lundestrom-Leason/colangelo

I think gaucher might be the favorite for 4c…. The 4th wing is still pretty wide open but I expect whoever it is to split time with Johnston.

Defense is tough to say
Fowler Luneau
Lacombe Gudas
Dumolin Mintyukov

But seems hard to send down zellweger or not having him playing

For the Flames... who knows lol. I'ma have to color code this shit...

Default color = Almost 100%
Green =Will be on line, but may move to opposite wing
Blue = My educated guess
Red = other realistic options
* = Could play another position on same line

Lizotte, Malkin, Glass
Bunting, Hayes, Rust
Beauvillier, O'Connor, Rakell
Puustinen

Grzelcyk, Shea
Ludvig, Letang
Graves, Karlsson

Sullivan soils himself with excitement at this line up.

Not sure if serious but Acciari on top line?

Igor
Quick

With Lindgren being injured who knows where Laviolette will go for that 1st pair LHD. People think Miller might get a look and Vito Mancini or god forbid Mackey gets slotted in on the 3rd pair.

Also Panarin has a mysterious injury in preseason so who knows what’s going on there, if he’s out to start the season the whole lineup gets borked

Just wanted to point out that this person's handwriting is clean af. Love it.

Yup and she takes pride in that, that's one of our embedded reporters and she's originally from Montreal. Although people were giving her grief for misspelling Siegenthaler a couple times recently.
Totally unrelated but my mom was obsessed with me having perfect handwriting/cursive growing up. Nowadays I can't read my own notes that I wrote a week ago.

Cristall/Milano-Lapierre-Protas
Duhaime-Dowd-Raddysh

Chychrun-Carlson
Fehervary-Roy
Sandin-TVR

Lindgren
Thompson

Sounds like Cristall will get a 9 game trial.

I think the goalies will split the starting role.
