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

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.

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

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

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

 

[Lunatik]

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

LW	C	RW
Sharangovich Zary	Kadri	Kuzmenko Sharangovich
Zary Pelletier Honzek	Backlund	Coleman Coronato
Huberdeau	Pospisil Sharangovich	Mantha
Pelletier Honzek Hunt	Rooney Pospisil Morton Klapka Honzek	Lomberg Coronato Klapka Hunt

Extra Forward: Hunt Duehr, Rooney, Pelletier, Schwindt
Note: I do not think waiver exempt players like Coronato, Honzek, Morton, Klapka... etc will be considered for the extra forward slot but may be ahead of the 13th Forward on the depth chart for regular ice-time

LD	RD
Weegar	Miromanov Pachal Barrie
Bahl Bean Barrie	Andersson
Bean Bahl Barrie	Pachal Miromanov Barrie Brzustewicz

Extra Defense: Barrie, Hanley, Pachal

1A	1B
Vladar Wolf	Wolf Vladar

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

Grzelcyk, Shea
Ludvig, Letang

Sullivan soils himself with excitement at this line up.

Not sure if serious but Acciari on top line?

It doesn't matter what the lines are, Sullivan is going to use it like shit. That's my take on the Pens line up.

Where is Pettersson

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

No Urho?

I imagine he’ll be kinda rotating in for dumo as the 7th…. Kinda hoping fowler is traded sooner rather than later…. urho has been solid but tough to find him a spot.

Put Newhook on second line immediately

yes, Bon Morrison puts in a shit tonne of work all year long to keep this information and thread up to date. Speculation: - 2024-25 NHL Lines & Lineup Notes Thread (as of Oct. 2nd ‘24 @ 3:00pm ET)

 

[EdJovanovski]

Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Kreider - Zibanejad - Smith
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Edstrom - Carrick - Rempe

Mancini - Fox
Miller - Trouba
Jones - Schneider

Shesterkin
Quick

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Kreider - Zibanejad - Smith
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Edstrom - Carrick - Rempe

Mancini - Fox
Miller - Trouba
Jones - Schneider

Shesterkin
Quick

My prediction is Lindgren will be ready for opening night.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kreider - Zibanejad - Smith
Panarin - Trochek - Lafreniere
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Vesey - Carrick - Rempe

God knows who - Fox
Miller - Trouba
Jones - Schneider

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

Holy Shit Eller is your 1st LW?
